Summary: Talented co-stars wasted on Monroe
Review: It's a real shame, with the supporting cast the movie could have been wonderful. The film suffers as it tries to make Miss Monroe the center of the action. It's fun to watch Yves Montand interact with the big entertainment names of the day and it is too bad that those relationships weren't explored further. It isn't a horrible movie, but reminds you that when a star or starlet is hot studios are sometimes too eager to use them in a film whether they are suitable or not.

Summary: My heart belongs to Marilyn
Review: Let's face it, Marilyn is not known for 'deep' movies, unfortunately. 'Let's Make Love' is a light musical comedy with a familiar plot. A multi-billionaire can have buy whatever he wants, but when he sees Marilyn and finds his money useless............The two and a half years that Marilyn lived in the 1960's were not espescially good for her. In this movie she is 'plump', moreso than she was in 'Some like it Hot'. But she's still the most beautiful woman that ever lived. The songs are good, 'Specialization' and 'Let's make Love' are memorable. But the movie's jewel is 'My Heart Belongs to Daddy'. Your first sight of marilyn in this flick are her black stocking legs as she slides down a brass pole. I get light headed everytime she turns intentionally toward the camera and blows the viewer a kiss. Marilyn will live in her fan's hearts forever. Yves Montand did an excellent job as a stiff, upper crust rich man who hires Milton Berle, Gene Kelly, and Bing Crosby to help him get a small bit in Marilyn's off-broadway show.

Summary: great old Monroe musical
Review: Marilyn Monroe and Yves Montand light up the screen in the sexy backstage musical LET'S MAKE LOVE. The last musical that Monroe made, it's one of her best. She is sizzling in her rendition of "My Heart Belongs To Daddy", clad in a black mesh bodysuit and a blue sweater. Frankie Vaughn, the British singing star, shares two great songs with Monroe; "Specialisation" and "Let's Make Love". This print, unfortunately, has suffered terribly from the crossover between widescreen and standard format. It occasionally jumps around and seems 'choppy'. All that aside, LET'S MAKE LOVE is a delight, with sparkling performances and fine support from Tony Randall and Wilfred Hyde White.

Summary: ESSENTIALLY FOR MARILYN FANS
Review: Not a great movie, that's for certain.Marilyn,probobly for the first time, doesn't look so good on film. Never the less, u still can't take your eyes of her! The strain of a faltering marriage and work on the mediocre movie was obvious.Yet it's an entertaining movie at times.Marilyn is superb performing "My Heart belongs to Daddy".And of course there is some chemistry between Marilyn and co-star Yves Montand ,who were having an affair during filming.

Summary: mediocre musical comedy
Review: Not one of marilyn's better movies but mildly entertaining. one highlight is marilyn's :my heart belongs to daddy. it's not the actor's fault that they had such a weak script.

Summary: I Wish
Review: that Universal had let Rock Hudson make this movie with Marilyn as he so badly wanted to! One thing for sure, there would have been no extramarital affair, as reported, but the chemistry would have been most interesting based on his performances with Doris Day. As one movie critic noted, there was too much sexual tension between the stars, and that would have been fine in a more serious movie. Still, it's always nice to see Marilyn. And for the reviewer who said she didn't look her best, check her out in the corset-type showgirl costume in the Milton Berle scene, and the almost-off-the-body dress in the Chinese restaurant where Montand's character declares his love for her. I know Marilyn is still popular, but when will we get to see her many widescreen movies, such as LET'S MAKE LOVE, amongst others in a letterbox format with decent sound. I had to return two copies of the letterboxed RIVER OF NO RETURN because the sound was so terrible! Thanks, jt

Summary: Save it for a rainy day...
Review: There are two types of movies, #1: the kind you have high expectations of and go rent it or see it in theaters or rent etc. etc.; & #2: the kind you come across one day and go "What's this?" and watch it.
"Let's make love" was fit for #2 (which is how I first saw it,) yet has follen a victim to #1.
I had first seen "Let's make love" on TV and found it rather entertaining and found the characters likable, maybe even lovable. I could relate to Clement (not for having all that money but) his feeling for the Monroe character. The scene where I could most relate to him is when the cast of the musical is notified that the musical doesn't have to worry about money anymore, with that Monroe gives a BIG graciouse hug to her friend Toney (NOT Clement [Yves Montand]) the look on Clement's face is a pretty anguished one.
Others don't like this film because of the supporting role Marilyn has, it's rather arguable if her role was a supporting one or not. Yet if this is a supporting role for her it shouldn't really be a bad thing, let's face it, Monroe's best film's have her in (do I dare say it:) supporting rules, such as "The Seven Year Itche," there is only four major segments of the film she is in (five at the most), and in "Some Like it Hot," the audiance has to wait a lenthy thirty minutes (the waiting is made easier by a chaming Toney Curtis & Jack Lemon) until we see Marilyn. It's not to bad though, after all, absence does make the heart grow fonder.

Summary: Yves Montand est magnifique!
Review: This is a wonderful movie. Reading the reviews, I saw so many put-downs of Yves Montand and I totally disagree. He was a wonderful actor, world-renowned and carries this movie totally. Just because many Americans don't "get it" when it comes to the French does not make him any less talented. This was his movie...HE was the main character, while Marilyn's character is more distant and viewed primarily through Yves' eyes. Marilyn does the best she can with some obvious weight and other issues and the fact that she performed so well even with these problems made me respect her all the more. The flaws in her appearance (like a minor scratch on a diamond)actually gave the film more credibility and made it plausible that a man who had had his fill of perfect plastic beauties would fall in love with her! I do agree she was somewhat distant, but some of that had to do with the script. I think it is hard for some people to accept her in a supporting role at that point in her career and see a Frenchman with the lead. Frankie Vaughn was stunning and ready for Broadway in his Tony Danton role and I do wish they had developed him a little better (there was no dialogue between his character and Montand's which was strange). If you can put any cultural biases aside you are in for a real treat! I do not give it a full five stars due to the technical problems with the film print but it is a jewel.
