Marilyn Goes From Blonde to Millionaire in Germany

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is showing at Kino Achteinhalb in Saarbrücken on Wednesday, September 23 at 8:00 pm, with a repeat screening on Monday, September 28.

“With its lighthearted screwball charm and occasional subtle situational comedy, critical themes are only subtly but unmistakably articulated; wonderfully packaged in memorable musical numbers and the captivating performances of the two lead actresses. Slightly dated, no doubt, but incredibly lighthearted and yet still thrillingly casual, as if fired off with effortless skill. It’s unmistakably ‘old’ Hollywood, but even back then not everything was bad. Especially in these subtle boundary-pushing films that play on the lines.” (Moviebreak)

And How to Marry a Millionaire is showing at CasaBlanca Art House in Bad Soden on Saturday, September 26, in honour of Marilyn’s centenary.
