Specially invited guests gathered at The Lighthouse Cinema in Smithfield for an exclusive screening of the digitally re-mastered ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’ hosted by THE GLOSS and Moët & Chandon Cinema Club. The screening marked the continuing success of cinema events which have been running throughout the year to mark the glamorous role the Champagne brand has played in the history of film, both on and off screen.

In ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’ blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe stars alongside smouldering brunette, Jane Russell, as two friends and showgirls from Arkansas, Lorelei Lee and Dorothy Shaw. Oozing all of the glamour and glitz of the 1940s, along with Monroe’s iconic performance of ‘Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend’, this digitally re-mastered movie transports viewers to another time and place.

The next screening hosted by THE GLOSS and Moët & Chandon Cinema Club will be the iconic Christmas classic ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’. Details of how to be in with the chance to attend this event will be in the November issue of THE GLOSS, distributed with the Irish Times on Thursday, 4th November.
