Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A sparkling new print of Howard Hawks's 1953 musical comedy, which paired Monroe and Russell at their spangled, curvaceous, lipsticky best.
Having outgrown their small town of Little Rock, Arkansas, the girls (one blonde gold-digger obsessed with diamonds and one romantic brunette with a sassy tongue) board a cruise to Europe looking for husbands, while fighting off snoopy detectives and suspicious fathers. The humour seems a touch broad, 56 years later, but the songs stand up (especially "Bye Bye Baby" and "Is There Anyone Here for Love?") and the athletics display by the shipboard Olympics team (in swimwear) is probably the gayest scene ever put on celluloid.
