Gentlemen prefer demoiselle blondes from Rochefort
I'm not sure this post will interest anybody but I'll post it anyway.
After Arthur posted a song from Gentlemen prefer blondes, post, from 1953,I watched a few of its songs and got to this one:



The piece immediately reminded me of a a classic scene from one of the greatest musicales, Les Demoiselles de Rochefort (The young girls of Rochefort), 1967,




The scene was no doubt a tribute to Gentlemen prefer blondes. Notice the similarity in choreography, but nevertheless how different it looks.
I wasn't aware of this "quotation," and as both these films are classics some of you might be interested.

(Don't confuse Gentlemen prefer blondes with Blondes prefer gentlemen from 1968, whose plot is: A training/indoctrination film put out by the U.S. Navy to show its troops that women do not like men who are loud, obnoxious, drunken sex maniacs.)
