Turner Classic Movies writer Hannah Jack will join us in person to introduce the 7pm screening.

Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell star in this classic musical comedy about two showgirls on their way to Paris. Blonde Lorelei is tracked by a private investigator who was hired by her future father-in-law, but the detective has eyes for her brunette friend, Dorothy. Anchored by magnetic performances from Monroe and Russell, GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES features tight direction from Howard Hawks and one of cinema’s most iconic set pieces for the musical number "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend."
