Musings of a Classic Film Addict I can hardly remember a time when I’ve been so thrilled about the arrival of a blogathon! I’ve had such a wonderful time discovering the work of the incredible Pier Angeli, and I really hope that all of our participants have had as much fun as I have watching movies read more

Tallulah Bankhead is one of these actress that became and icon of classic Hollywood in her own rights. A fantastic woman, she also had a memorable presence on film and even if some titles are nowadays forgotten, Miss Bankhead isn’t. I first saw her in Lifeboat and, before I started this marat read more

Three Enchanting Ladies Jennifer Jones is not the first name that automatically pop-ups to people’s head when thinking about classic Hollywood. A name like Ingrid Bergman has more chances to. It is intriguing, as Mrs. Jones had quite a prolific career in Hollywood. We remember her four pairings alo read more

I’m glad to say that, today, we finally start to honour the sparkling Jean Harlow! I’m hosting the Jean Harlow Blogathon with my friend Samantha from Musings of A Classic Film Addict! This is the first blogathon we are hosting together and it is an honour for me! Her blog is fantastic! read more

I JUST watched Hell’s Angels. It was about time. Here, I’m not talking about a film on the motorcycle club, but about Howard Hughes film that involves a lot of planes, World War I and, blonde bombshell Jean Harlow. Because Jean is who we are honouring today, Samantha from Musings of A C read more

A few weeks ago, my dad told me they were going to screen a documentary on Buster Keaton at the Cinéma du Musée in Montreal. We watched the trailer and came to the conclusion it looked like an amazing film and that we had to go see it. Working myself in a movie theatre which has the same administra read more

My favourite character actor, Arthur Kennedy would have been 105 today and, for the occasion, I’m hosting the Arthur Kennedy’s Conquest of the Screen Blogathon. I was initially supposed to write about an episode from The Alfred Hitchcock Hour in which Kennedy starred but, instead, IR read more

It has finally arrived! Today, we start celebrating my favourite character actor, the incomparable Arthur Kennedy, with the blogathon I’ve created in his honour! The festivities start today and will take an end of February 17 or, more precisely, on what would have been his 105th birthday! Art read more

Oh, Hitchcock, good old Hitchcock. What would be The Wonderful World of Cinema without any discussions about his films? Well, it’s been a long time since we didn’t have one and Maddy’s Third Hitchcock Blogathon that she is hosting on her blog Maddy Loves Her Classic Films seems to read more

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
