Those dancing feet… ’42nd Street’ (Lloyd Bacon, 1933)
a review of Lloyd Bacon’s glorious musical 42nd Street (1933)

The Fun of ‘Gregory’s Girl’ (Bill Forsyth, 1981)
Some films are easy to classify as endearing. There’s a little touch of something in those that always makes the viewings agreeable. Those types of films are often contained in a shell without false pretences. For me, the Scottish film Gregory’s Girl, directed by Bill Forsyth, bears these non-neglectable qualities. Initially, I discovered this delightful coming-of-age comedy in February 2021 when I did […]

Groovy Michael Caine travels to Turin : The Italian Job (Peter Collinson, 1969)
It’s not a secret for anyone familiar with The Wonderful World of Cinema that I love British films, especially the classic ones. They have a unique charm, especially with the actors and dialogue delivery that you don’t find in Hollywood films (and I’m not necessarily thinking of the accent). So, that’s why The Rule Britannia Blogathon (formerly The British Invaders […]

Many thanks to the participants of The 6th Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon!

It’s been a pleasure, as always, to read your material and see how much Ingrid is still appreciated, even 41 years after her passing. One particularly cool thing this year […]

Announcing the 6th Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon!
Recently, I’ve got tempted to participate in blogathons again, but, to tell you the truth, I also missed hosting them. Although I have various ideas in mind, I’ve decided to return with one of my classics: The Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon! I hosted that blogging event for the first time back in 2015, and this […]

Don’t judge a film by its title… Million Dollar Legs (1939)
Betty Grable, just like other sex symbols such as Marilyn Monroe or Jayne Mansfield, is nowadays more often remembered for her physical appeal than her acting and the films in which she starred. We particularly remember her for that utterly iconic pin-up photo showcasing her famous legs (insured for a million dollars). Every GI owned […]

A Jolly Good Fellow… Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (Frank Capra, 1936)
It’s been ages since I’ve participated in a blogathon! The last time I did was actually in April 2022, and it was for one of my own blogathons… But life happened, and I just got busy with other things. My apologies to the bloggers whose blogathons I had to skip. Since things are calmer on […]
