Trivia:
Judy Holliday turned down the role of Lorelei Lee because she felt no actress other than Carol Channing (who played the part on Broadway) should be cast. moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the courtroom, Malone introduces Piggy as Sir Francis Beekman. Minutes later, the judge addresses Piggy as Lord Beekman. As Piggy holds a knighthood, not a peerage, he would never be addressed as anything other than "Sir". moreQuotes:
Lorelei Lee: Dorothy. Mr. Esmond and I are getting married.Dorothy Shaw: To each other?
Gus Esmond: Of course to each other. Who else to?
Dorothy Shaw: Well, I don't know about you Gus, but I always figured Lorelei would end up with the Secretary of the Treasury.

I rented this movie so I could watch Marilyn sing, "Diamonds are a girl's best friend." I didn't expect to enjoy the rest of the movie, but I found myself rewinding the video to watch the movie a second time. Once was not enough.
