Ladies of the Chorus is a 1948 American musical romance film directed by Phil Karlson and starring Adele Jergens, Marilyn Monroe and Rand Brooks.

Released by Columbia Pictures, Ladies of the Chorus features Marilyn Monroe in the first major role of her career.

Considered a B film at the time of its release, it quickly disappeared from theaters, and Monroe's contract with Columbia was not renewed.

One evening, Randy Carroll, a member of a wealthy society family in Cleveland, is brought to a performance by friends and becomes enamored of Peggy.

Learning that Peggy generally does not accept dates because her mother disapproves, Randy adopts a subtle strategy.

The guests are scandalized, and feeling snubbed, Peggy and Mae attempt to leave, but Adele stops them, declaring that if they run away it will only make things worse.
