gentlemen prefer blondes at the heights

Tonight you can view a restored 35mm print of the Howard Hawks picture, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes:

Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell are at their zenith in this truly exceptional musical comedy camp fest. Directed by Howard Hawks at A lightening pace, and featuring the classic DIAMONDS ARE A GIRLS BEST FRIEND musical number, this film is a classic of its genre.  And all of it will be presented in a beautiful new digitally restored 35mm print!! Two singers, best friends Lorelei Lee and Dorothy Shaw travel to Paris pursued by a private detective hired by Lorelei's fiancé's disapproving father to keep an eye on her, a rich, enamored old man and many other doting admirers.  35mm print courtesy Criterion Pictures and Twentieth Century-Fox.

Admittedly, I haven't watched many of Hawks' films, but he's supposedly the master of the genre film.  Well, I'm not exactly sure if that's what to say, so I'll rephrase that.  He understands so many genres inside and out that he can tackle all of them flawlessly.  At least that's what some film guru told me years ago.  See how well he works with musicals at the Heights tonight at 7:30.
