Film Fatale is delighted to announce its first event in Sligo’s The
Model as part of the North West Film and Music Festival on 16th
November. This screening of Some
Like it Hot — one of the world’s most beloved comedies — stars the silver
screen’s most famous platinum blonde, Marilyn Monroe, in her most sizzling role
as Sugar Kane.
This will be a night of
cinema nostalgia and old–style Hollywood glamour that will transport the
audience back to the 1920s for an evening of film, vintage music, cocktails,
dancing and good old-fashioned fun.
Opening the
festivities, chanteuse Derby Browne will reprise her role from 2010’s National
Concert Hall show 'Let's Make Love' for a Marilyn-inspired tribute. The show
will include songs from Some Like it Hot, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, There's No
Business Like Show Business and Let's Make Love, alongside Marilyn’s famous
rendition of ‘Happy Birthday Mr President’.
The screening
of Billy Wilder’s hilarious comedy will be followed by a 1920s party mirroring
the film’s setting with Film Fatale’s resident DJs, The Andrews Sisters’
Brothers, playing hits from the era and dance floor fillers from the 30s, 40s,
50s and 60s. The audience is invited to help set the scene by dressing up in
their vintage finest, paying homage to the 1920s or dressing like Marilyn and
her co-stars Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.
One of
Hollywood's most treasured classics and the American Film Institute's number
one film in its list of America's 100 Funniest Movies, Some Like It Hot stars
Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon as Chicago musicians who accidentally witness a
gangland shooting and quickly board a southbound train to Florida, disguised as
Josephine and Daphne.
The two become
the newest and homeliest members of an all-girl jazz band, which includes a
never-better Marilyn Monroe. While Curtis falls for Monroe and creates another
alias to woo her, Lemmon gets stuck fending off the affections of millionaire
Osgood Fielding III. Marilyn Monroe’s charm, perfectly matched by the pairing
of Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon’s comic duo, makes Some Like It Hot Billy
Wilder’s most sizzling comedy.
Sit back, enjoy
a classic signature cocktail designed especially for the night, as the Film
Fatale usherettes serve you popcorn while watching Billy Wilders most
side-splitting comedy. Then dance the night away to ‘ I Want to be Loved by You’.
The
North West Film Festival, formerly Sound and Vision Festival, will run from 14th
to 25th November in The Model, Sligo, with a fantastic mix of
documentaries, feature film premieres, rare archive, live scores and extra
special guests.
The gorgeous Model Sligo!
