During the past three weeks, I read a biography of the extremely secretive Jean Arthur, the “American Greta Garbo”, who lived a very private life, in view of the blogathon I’m hosting in her honour in a few weeks. I wanted to prepare myself well and wanted to do so by doing more th read more

If you’ve been following this blog for a while and know my tastes well, it shouldn’t be a mystery that one of my favourite national cinemas is the one made in the UK, especially the classics from the 30s until the 60s. That is why Terence’s Rule, Britannia Blogathon that he is host read more

The first time I saw Jean Arthur in a film, I didn’t immediately become a fan of her. I was one of those people who was irritated by her unique voice, and my attention was overall more dragged towards Gary Cooper (the film was Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (Frank Capra, 1936)). However, I have learne read more

Peter Lawford is a name people will most often associate to The Rat Pack or The Kennedys (he was married to Patricia Kennedy, JFK’s sister). Sadly, the man’s acting career was often overlooked and, along with the likes of Zsa Zsa Gabor, he was labelled “famous for being famous̶ read more

I hadn’t hosted a blogathon since the 5th Wonderful Grace Kelly Blogathon back in November. And I have to say; it was a pleasure to be back hosting one, especially since I didn’t have the chance to host the Ingrid Bergman Blogathon last year. As you know, the event started on August 27 a read more

Three Enchanting Ladies Seven months later, I’m back on Three Enchanting Ladies (I really must try to write more on this blog). It is a quite special occasion since it’s for the 5th Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon that I’m hosting on my main blog The Wonderful World of Cinema. Not only it read more

Here we are, folks! After a year break, my Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon is finally back! As you know, I was not able to host it last year as I was in Stockholm (Ingrid’s hometown!) and was actually too busy visiting the city. And it’s weird to think that this was already a year ago read more

I have to admit; I still haven’t seen enough films with Van Johnson despite really liking him in the not-so-well-known Three Guys Named Mike (Charles Walter, 1951). When Michaela from Love Letters to Old Hollywood announced the 4th edition of her Van Johnson Blogathon that she is hosting in ho read more

Last Friday, some film buffs like me honoured what would have been Alfred Hitchcock’s 121st birthday. The British director, born on August 13, 1899, undeniably had one of the most prolific careers in the entertainment industry and revolutionized the art of films forever. Since I have seen 49 read more

If you’ve followed my blog for a few years  now (or what I post on social media,) you are probably not estranged with the fact that I have, over these recent years, developed a considerable interest for Quebecker actor Paul Dupuis. That interest began when I first saw him co-starring with Marg read more

Ella Raines. A noun that sounds like poetry and a woman who certainly inspires creativity. But Ella Raines, most of all, remains what we could call a mystery or even, a myth. No, she was not a myth in the same way that Marily Monroe was (because everybody has heard of Marilyn Monroe) but more in th read more

This type of content is very popular (!) on YouTube channels, and I thought I would take it on WordPress for a (hopefully) fun article. Hey, I’m not claiming that I’m reinventing the wheel and that nobody has ever done that on their blog before (actually, I’m sure tons of people h read more

Aside from posting an announcement for the 5th Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon (*wink wink!*), I haven’t written a lot of my blog since I came back to Montreal. For this new blog article, I wanted to share with you one of the series I’ve discovered recently (I’m more in a serie read more

Hello everybody! The last time I published something on this blog, it was in mid-April… So I think it’s time for me to be back. Now that I have completed my master degree and that I have more free time on my hands, I have no excuse not to write about the wonderful world of classic films read more

When Gill from Real Weegie Midget Reviews announced that she was co-hosting a blogathon with Cinematic Catharsis honouring the one and only Vincent Price, I first went through his filmography to see which film I could write about. My attention was dragged to Fritz Lang before-last American film: Wh read more

Today marks what would have been the 102nd birthday of my second most favourite actor, the one and only Golden Boy; William Holden! As you know, I’ve hosted a blogathon in his honour for four consecutive years. Sadly, I am not able to make it this year due to being  very busy with my master t read more

1939 was an important year for Hollywood’s film industry. Indeed, a ton of A-quality films was released and gave place to an impressive range of Oscar nominees (films and people). If we think 1939, the films that will most likely come to people’s mind are, without a doubt, Gone With the read more

As I start writing this article, it is currently March 6. I’m sitting in a café in Södermalm, the in neighbourhood where I’m living in Stockholm. I’ve never been there before (I like discovering new places to broaden my options). I don’t feel it’s the best place in ter read more

Not a long time ago I shared with you my thoughts on two great Alfred Hitchcock Presents episodes starring Claire Trevor. I felt like discussing Hitchcock TV stuff again but, this time, with its anthology series The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. The principle is pretty much the same as Alfred Hitchcock Pre read more

Unless you are a newbie here, it probably won’t be a mystery to know that, aside from classic films, my other great passion is a wonderful individual named David Bowie. People first know him as the music icon who wrote and sang Ziggy Stardust and inspired Fashion with his many transformations read more
