The Ministry of Ungentlemanly WarfareΒ is fictionalized accountβwith many creative libertiesβof Operation Postmaster during World War II. With tactics deemed “ungentlemanly” by Winston Churchill, a team of operatives embarked on a dangerous missionβand contributed to changing the course of the war.
“These types of female characters are inspiring, are what I think what embodies the 21st century woman,” Eiza GonzΓ‘lez shared into the microphone, “I felt honored myself to be Marjorie Stewart.”
After the screening, guests were invited to attend the premiere after-party at the Ascent Lounge in Columbus Circleβpresented by Johnnie Walker.
Jerry Bruckheimer joined the cast of the film for the festivities as a DJ spun tracks to set the vibe. Bartenders made splendid use of Johnnie Walker Blue Label with movie-inspired cocktails includingΒ The Strategist (the brand’s take on the trendy Espresso Martini) andΒ The Saboteur (a twist on an Old Fashioned.)
Henry Cavill, Babs Olusanmokun, and Cary Elwes also mingled with guests and posed for selfies. Henry Golding even stopped by the bar to enjoy The Saboteur for himself.
How ungentlemanly indeed.
