The musical opened on Broadway in 1949 (running for 740 performances and introducing Carol Channing), a London production was mounted in 1962, and there was a Broadway revival in 1995. An adaptation called Lorelei (also starring Carol Channing) played on Broadway in 1974. It was made into a film of the same name in 1953, starring Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe. The popular songs "Bye Bye Baby" and "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" were introduced in this musical.
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: The Intimate Diary of a Professional Lady is a comic novel written by Anita Loos, first published in 1925. It is one of several famous novels published that year to chronicle the so-called Jazz Age, including Fitzgerald'sThe Great Gatsby and Van Vechten'sFirecrackers. Loos was inspired to write the book after watching a sexy blonde turn intellectual H. L. Mencken into a lovestruck schoolboy. Mencken, a close friend, actually enjoyed the work and saw to it that it was published. Originally published as a magazine series in Harper's Bazaar, it was published as a book by Boni & Liveright in 1925 and became a runaway best seller, becoming the second best selling title of 1926 and earning the praise of no less than Edith Wharton who dubbed it "The Great American Novel."
Responding to a male friend’s suggestion that she should write down her thoughts because it would make an interesting book, the blonde Lorelei Lee narrates the novel in the form of a diary complete with spelling and grammatical errors.

Ain't There Anyone Here For Love - Jane Russell - 1953 [DES STEREO]
Here is Jane Russel at her finest singing: “Ain't There Anyone Here for Love” from the 1953 20th Century Fox movie: “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” that she stared in with Marilyn Monroe.
I did my best to recover the compromised audio and do my signature MONO-to-STEREO conversion. Even though movies were recorded in stereo during this era, I’m not sure if this movie had that benefit.
Technical Information:
I used SPLEETER v1.1 to separate the components [Vocal, Accompaniment, Drums, Bass] into 4 separate tracks. Adobe Audition was used for Dynamic Range recovery, Delay, Reverb, EQ and final mixdown. NERO 2019 Platinum used to generate the final video.
The original mono video can be viewed here on the "Broadway Classics" channel:
