These glamorous showgirls have everything a girl could want - except engagement rings. In a quest for true love, Lorelei and her gold digger pal Dorothy set sail on a luxury-liner bound for France. But the pair hits rocky waters when a manipulative detective, an over-aged, over sexed millionaire and the entire men's Olympic team try to put an anchor in their marriage-minded mischief.
Blondes vs. Brunettes: A Hollywood Debate
Let us dazzle you with a star-studded double-bill of two Golden Age Classics: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Gilda.
From blonde bombshells to raven-haired femme fatales, the ‘blonde vs. brunette’ debate, popularised in Hollywood’s Golden Age, sees a woman’s hair colour directly linked to their on-screen persona.
By revisiting two of Hollywood’s greatest icons, Rita Hayworth and Marilyn Monroe, in some of their most iconic roles, these screenings aim to transform the narrative of ‘blonde vs. brunette’ from a method of dividing women, into a celebration of their individual strengths.
Tickets for individual screenings are £6 each, or you can book the double bill for £10 and take part in a creative workshop, themed around the films, held between the two screenings. Ticket discount automatically applied at checkout.
