NASSAU, Bahamas -- More than 300 invited guests, including Cabinet ministers, dignitaries and business and civic leaders, flocked to Galleria Cinemas November 7 for the premiere of the highly-anticipated 23rd James Bond adventure film, Skyfall, when Heineken hosted the event as part of an international campaign celebrating Agent 007's thirst for the distinctive premium beer.

Commonwealth Brewery Ltd., which brews Heineken in The Bahamas, threw the party that had all the makings of a gala premiere, transforming a parking lot at the Mall at Marathon into a set fit for celebrities piling into the Oscars. Arriving guests were ushered into a reception area to be greeted by brewery Chairman Julian Francis, and Managing Director Nico Pinotsis. Bahamas Film Commissioner Craig Woods was on hand. Paparazzi and cameramen clicked and flashed away, capturing the mood and style against the 007 Heineken backdrop. Inside the 6,400 square foot enclosure erected for the occasion were tuxedoed bartenders, LED interior-lit furnishings, food, bars, iced cold Heineken in 007 bottles, live music and a bevy of beauties in flowing green gowns.
