Hello everybody! I think it’s time for us to announce a new blogathon! Three years ago, I hosted The Marathon Star Blogathon with Crystal from In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood. We thought it would be nice to bring it back a second time! The first edition was a great success. This tim read more

When Dubsism and Return to the 80s announced that they would be hosting the Box Office Jocks Blogathon, an event honouring actors who were athletes as well, I thought this would be the perfect occasion for me to finally see my first Esther Williams film. I remembered Michaela from Love Letters to O read more

I had already written about 12 Angry Men (Sidney Lumet, 1957) on this blog when I wrote about Lee J. Cobb’s paternal roles in this film and in Golden Boy (Rouben Mamoulian, 1939). But there’s another 12 Angry Men’s actor that obviously deserves to be discussed: Henry Fonda, juror read more

I don’t know if you ever saw a photo and then just became curious to know more about the person on it. It was someone you had never heard of before, but, now that you do, you have developed a devoted admiration for her. This is what happened to me and Jean Simmons. I saw two photos of her in read more

Three Enchanting Ladies I might have taken forever to read Ingrid Bergman’s biography, but that’s not because I didn’t like it. Oh no, ar from it! Actually, I don’t think I have anything bad to say about it. Reading it was pure delight. This book is GOLD. I finished this book last autumn. This read more

Oh joy! After months waiting for this blogging event to arrive, we can now celebrate the lovely Jean Simmons who would have been 90 years old next January 31. The blogathon honouring her starts today, January 29 and will end on the 31. To host, I’m joined by the wonderful Laura from Phyllis L read more

Some time ago, my friend blogger Samantha from Musings of a Classic Film Addict suggested we should host a blogathon together. I love her blog so, of course, the idea was highly appealing to me! After looking at some possible subjects (there are so many!), we finally made the choice to host a bloga read more

I remember vividly what was the first Marilyn Monroe film I saw or what was the first Grace Kelly film I saw, but if you ask me when exactly I discovered Barbara Stanwyck, I become hesitant. I have a far memory concerning that. I believe she was introduced to me with either Meet John Doe or Clash B read more

We often speak of 1939 as being one of the most prolific years in film history with the release of films like Gone With the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, Mr. Smith Goes to Washingtonor Stagecoach. Consequently, it’s predecessor, the year 1938, often gets overlooked with no good reason. I remember a read more

When I started this blog in October 2014, the first article I presented to you was a top 10 of my most favourite films. The years have passed and, since I made this top list, I have obviously seen many more films, some of my tastes have changed, etc. So, I thought the beginning of 2019 would be a pe read more

Many thanks to Rebecca from Taking Up Room who nominated me for a Versatile Blogger Award! I hadn’t received this kind of award for some time so, of course, it would be a pleasure for me to accept it and fulfill the requests the best I can. To accept a Versatile Blogger Award you must: 1- Tha read more

I first expressed a certain curiosity for Otto Preminger’s The Man With the Golden Arm when I saw that Saul Bass tribute made by google doodle. I then heard it was one of Frank Sinatra’s best performances (Oscar-nominated and all that). It was actually on my to-watch list for quite a lo read more

Hello again! Yes, another year will soon be at our door which means… more blogathons of course! You already know that I’ll be honouring Jean Simmons on her 90th birthday at the end of January with Phyllis Loves Her Classic Movies. BUT there’s someone else I’ve been desperate read more

Another event has gone by. Time flies! Can’t believe this annual event is already over. It’s been a blast and I was particularly happy with the level of participation this year! Of course, none of this would have been possible without you and without my wonderful co-host, Emily from The read more

I don’t watch so many “recent” films, but as I work in a movie theatre, I try to take advantage of my free admission privilege and see some when I have the occasion to. Au revoir là-haut (See You Up There), a 2017’s French film directed by Albert Dupontel was one of them and read more

Three Enchanting Ladies Grace Kelly’s day has finally arrived, which means we’re ready to celebrate her here on the blogosphere! As you know, I’m hosting the 4th Wonderful Grace Kelly Blogathon via my blog The Wonderful World of Cinema but, this year, I’m joined by a new co-host: Emily from read more

Today, the beautiful (and talented!) actress who became a princess would have been 89 years old. Oh dear, to think that without this tragic accident she could still have been with us… As we know, for the occasion, I’m hosting the 4th edition of the Wonderful Grace Kelly Blogathon. This read more

The 4th Wonderful Grace Kelly Blogathon is finally here! Me and my co-host Emily from The Flapper Dame are very impatient to read your entries honoring the great lady. If you are posting on day 1 (November 11), make sure to submit your entry on Emily’s blog. I’ll be hosting Day 2 tomorro read more

Yesterday, one of the women who was considered one of the most beautiful figures of the silver screen would have been 104 years old. She’s not with us anymore, but that’s not a valid excuse not to celebrate her. I’m talking about Hedy Lamarr! It’s my blogging friend Samantha read more

For today’s #Noirvember blog post, I thought it would be interesting to discuss a book instead of a film. Writings on the subject can be quite fascinating since there is a lot to talk about in connexion to this cinematic movement. Films noir contain both relevant narrative and aesthetic elemen read more
