Blonde Bombshell Double Bill.

The Seven Year Itch.

Billy Wilder’s classic 1955 comedy starring Marilyn Monroe needs little introduction.

Pin Up Girl.

Splashy Technicolor WW2 morale booster musical. Glorious photography, lavish sets and costumes and dazzling musical numbers. A huge hit in 1944.

Beautiful U.S.O. singer and compulsive liar Lorry Jones (Betty Grable) and her best friend leave Montana for war jobs in Washington, D.C. Stopping in New York City along the way, Lorry spins a web of lies, turning herself into a Broadway star to gain the company of handsome war hero Tommy Dooley (John Harvey). Jealous club singer Molly McKay (Martha Raye) suspects Lorry’s claims are false and hopes to expose her. The situation worsens when Tommy ends up in Washington at Lorry’s new office.
