Yes, Rich and Strange (or East of Shanghai in its American title) was very different from the other “typical” Hitchcock’s films. It’s not often cited as a favourite and it tends to be a bit forgotten nowadays. I want, today, to give a new fresh breath of air to this overlooked film, and appeal your […]
As a little girl, I wanted to be a princess and be married to a policeman (a policeman, not a prince). That would have been the ideal life for me. But, of course, I grew up and made wiser decisions. Because being a princess doesn’t only involve wearing beautiful dresses and being rich, but also […]

Aren’t there some movies that you always feel like watching, whatever the time, your mood, etc.? For me, Give Us the Moon, one of the most delightful comedies ever made, is one of them. Yes, a delicious film, just like ice cream. It’s one of those films that makes you forget your problems and simply […]

War is hell. We all agree on that. But the real hell doesn’t only happen during the conflict but also when the latter is over. Cities are destroyed and have to be rebuilt, countries are poor, families have lost relatives, and the soldiers who survived are mentally affected and/or badly hurt physically. That last case […]
“I’m a personality as well as an actress. Show me an actress who isn’t a personality, and you’ll show me a woman who isn’t a star.” – Katharine Hepburn- Katharine Hepburn. The only thing that is not unique about her is this last name “Hepburn”. As for the rest, the lady was, and will always […]

I had so much fun last year when I hosted my very first blogathon: The Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon in honour of her centenary. As it was a success (and as I love Ingrid so much), I couldn’t resist hosting it again this year. After all, 101 is a beautiful number too! The celebrations were […]
When I think about the fact that William Holden is now my second favourite actor (after James Stewart), it makes me realize how a person’s tastes can change. We’re celebrating today what would have been his 98th anniversary and, for the occasion, I’m hosting my first William Holden Blogathon, aka The Golden Boy Blogathon. For my […]

The events starts today and will take […]
Last Wednesday, on April 5, we celebrated the birthday of some legends of the silver screen such as Gregory Peck (his centennial), Spencer Tracy and Bette Davis. Unfortunately, due to school duties, I didn’t have time to write a tribute for any of them as I usually like to. But this doesn’t prevent me to be […]
I’m happy to participate, for the second time since I create this blog, to the Favourite TV Show Episode Blogathon hosted by my friend Terence from A Shroud of Thoughts.
