QUAD Essentials - Marilyn Monroe

Join us for a month of Marilyn! We are celebrating the centenary of Marilyn Monroe with a five film season running throughout May. Five films that showcase the many sides of Marilyn. Early thrillers like Don’t Bother To Knock and Niagara see the star in ascendancy while the loveable comedy Gentlemen Prefer Blondes sees the iconic Monroe image arrive on the big screen. We show her range in Bus Stop, where she give a cracking performance and then end the season on the stone cold classic Some Like It Hot.

Join us on Sunday afternoons at 1:00pm, with each screening including an introduction and post-film discussion.
