 Look at All the Marilyn! Jan 19, 2009
Ladies of the Chorus is a B-movie, a breezy programmer about a chorus girl who falls in love with a wealthy fan. Peggy Martin (Marilyn Monroe) and her mother Mae (Adele Jergens) are members of a chorus line in a second rate show. Mae has been involved since she was a young girl herself, and now wears a blonde wig to hide her greying hair. Her daughter gets a big break when the star of the show quits, and soon Peggy is adored by attractive men in the audience. One of them is Randy Carroll (Rand Brooks), a man with enough money to buy Peggy orchids every day without leaving a note with his name on it. Of course, she finds out who he is and the two are on the road to romance. But can the classes mix?
An enjoyable film with some good songs, ("Every Baby Needs a Da Da Daddy" and "Anyone Can See I Love You") this movie is most notable for its budding starlet, Marilyn Monroe. Unlike most of her early roles, this one is rather large albiet hollow. She is gorgeous throughout and sings rather well; no wonder, since she fell in love with her voice coach during the shooting. Brooks of Gone With the Wind fame gives a giddy performance as her love interest and Jergens plays the motherly role well, although she is much too young for the part.

A Glimpse Into A Young and Stunning Marilyn Monroe Feb 04, 2007
I was so excited to purchase this from a seller off of Amazon. I have been a MM fan since I was 9 (I'll be 36 this year) and have never seen this. Until I started looking for it, I didn't realize that it was out of print in the US on VHS and only available on Region 2 (Europe) DVD. I have a great VHS copy and now consider it a cherished collectible of Marilyn. I watched it for the first time today and loved it. Marilyn is so young, innocent and beautiful. She just radiates. This will give any fan a glimpse into a young Marilyn Monroe, just as she was leaving the persona of Norma Jeane and finding herself. This is well worth the investment for any Marilyn fan's collection, if you can find a copy grab it. It was a B rated movie but still charming and fun to watch. I literally welled up watching how gorgeous Marilyn was and seeing her young and fresh talent.

One of the best of Marilyn Monroe Apr 29, 2002
This is one of Marilyn's first movies and yet she had the main part. She was so young in this movie and looking her best. She did a wonderful job and she sang so beautifully. As always her movies are great but I would have to put this up there with the Prince and The Showgirl and Bus Stop which in my opion were her best movies. She outshined everyone.

Wonderful Sep 29, 2001
I remember literally calling in to work one day, because this movie was on. I missed about the first 15 minutes of it, and I just had to see what happened. I think Marilyn Monroe looked stunning, and I am surprised it wasn't a phenominal success. The movie itself has a wonderful-romantic story line to it. It's one of my favorite classic movies by Miss Monroe.
The Story is about a Mother and Daughter dancers. Marilyn becames, forgive me if i dont' spell it correctly the "Burless" Queen and she meets a man who falls head over heels in love with her. Marilyns Mom is worried and confronts the boy that if he wants to marry her to please discuss it with his mother, so there isn't any problems. If you want to hear what happens, I reccomend you rent or buy this video. Its a wonderful-witty little film that I think is wonderful!!!
