GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES

It is 1924 and everybody is boarding the Atlantic liner 'Ile de France' at New York, ready to cross to Paris.  Onboard is airhead blonde Lorelei Lee, her best friend Dorothy Shaw, the US Olympic Team, British aristocrats Sir Francis and Lady Beekman and US millionaire Henry Spofford and his mother, Ella Spofford. 

Lorelei's rich boyfriend Gus Esmond unfortunately cannot make the excursion, which sets Lorelei and Dorothy on a trip in search of money, diamonds and love before returning to New York to get hitched.
