One of the most beloved films of all time, this sizzling masterpiece by Billy Wilder (The Seven Year Itch) stars Marilyn Monroe at the height of her bombshell powers. Attendees will receive a free poster by illustrator Laura Callaghan.Two jazz musicians (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon) are witness to a mob hit. To save their lives, they disguise themselves as women in an all-girl band, featuring one Sugar ‘Kane’ Kowalczyk (Monroe), headed to sunny Florida.
Even with her personal life and health in decline, Monroe gave arguably the best and most loved performance of her career. Director Billy Wilder, who had his fair share of problems on set said "All I can tell you is if Marilyn was around today, I’d be on my knees, saying ‘please let’s do it again!"
‘Nobody’s perfect!’ might be the film’s immortal final line, but over 60 years on no other big screen comedy comes quite as close to perfection as this.
Screening as part of Marilyn Monroe 100 and the Naughton Gallery’s SCREEN/PRINT series in collaboration with QFT and UsFolk. All attendees will receive a free print of a specially commissioned Marilyn Monroe poster by internationally renowned Irish illustrator Laura Callaghan, celebrating the pop culture icon’s 100th birthday.
