Let's Make Love is a 1960 musical comedy film that stars Marilyn Monroe, Yves Montand, and Tony Randall. It is directed by George Cukor and was produced by 20th Century Fox. The movie tells the story of a wealthy and successful business tycoon, Jean-Marc Clement (Yves Montand), who discovers that his image is being used in an off-Broadway satirical musical about him. In an attempt to see what the show is all about, he sneaks into the theater disguised as an ordinary actor named Alexander Dumas. There, he meets the show's female lead, Amanda Dell (Marilyn Monroe), and instantly falls in love with her.

Amanda, on the other hand, is jaded and disillusioned with the entertainment industry. She has been working in the theater for years and hasn't been able to achieve her desired level of success as an actress. Initially, she is skeptical of Jean-Marc and his motives, but as they spend more time together, she begins to fall for his genuine charm and kindness.

As the two begin to get closer, tensions rise as Jean-Marc's true identity is revealed, and Amanda must decide if she can trust him. Meanwhile, Tony Randall plays the show's director, who becomes increasingly jealous of the budding romance between Jean-Marc and Amanda.

At its core, Let's Make Love is a classic romantic comedy that combines the talents of two Hollywood legends, Marilyn Monroe and Yves Montand. The chemistry between the two stars is palpable, and their performances are filled with charm and humor.

The film's musical numbers are also noteworthy, with Monroe delivering a memorable performance of "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" that has become iconic in its own right. The film's other musical numbers are also entertaining, though they don't reach the same heights as Monroe's showstopper.

Despite its light and fluffy premise, Let's Make Love is also a commentary on class and celebrity. Jean-Marc is initially portrayed as a cold and impersonal businessman who is out of touch with the struggles of the common man. However, as he spends time with Amanda and her theater friends, he begins to see the value in their way of life and becomes more empathetic towards them.

Overall, Let's Make Love is a charming and entertaining film that benefits from the star power of its two leads. While it may not be as well-known as some of Monroe's other films, it is a must-watch for fans of classic Hollywood rom-coms.

Let's Make Love is a 1960 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 59 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.4.
