Ladies of the Chorus is a 1948 Hollywood film produced by Columbia Pictures. It stars Marilyn Monroe in her first major role as Peggy Martin, a dancer who falls in love with a wealthy man portrayed by Rand Brooks (who had played the role of Charles Hamilton, the first and hapless husband of Scarlett O'Hara in the epic movie "Gone with the Wind"). Adele Jergens played her mother May Martin -despite the fact that Jergens was only 9 years older than Monroe- who worries about the class difference between the two and wonders if her daughter will be happy. The film was directed by Phil Karlson.
This film was not a success, and thus Marilyn's contract with Columbia Pictures was not renewed, but the movie remains as her first starring role in which she gave her first love kiss to a man (Rand Brooks) on the big screen.
Marilyn sings Every Baby Needs a Da Da Daddy and Anyone Can See I Love You.
