They’re almost here.  The perilous, precarious and/or personable pairs.

As the Dynamic Duos in Classic Film blogathon, co-hosted with the fabulous Once Upon a Screen (@CitizenScreen) draws near, it’s time to share the planned schedule. I can hardly contain my excitement at the incredible list of bloggers and topics that will be featured.  As you see below, it’s an impressive list – one that far exceeded my expectations in number, artist, genre and participant.  I’m so excited, in fact, that I want to look up, into the clouds as if John Gilbert were nibbling on my neck….oh.

Before I go I must express my thanks to all of you fabulous bloggers for making this event so special so borrowing the words of George M. Cohan I say…“My mother thanks you. My father thanks you. My sister thanks you. And I thank you.”

Um…OK.  I guess that’s corny.  Let me instead offer some advice…“Plastics.”  Or a wistful thought, “Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make.”  

Don’t tell me I never gave you anything!
