Many Thanks to the Participants of the 5th Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon!
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 and ended […]

The 5th Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon Is Here!
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! […]

When Marriage Dared to Die: Divorce American Style (Bud Yorkin, 1967)
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 honour of his birthday (August 25), […]

Announcing the 5th Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon!
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 […]

Media People Solve Murders Again: ‘While the City Sleeps’ (Fritz Lang, 1956)
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 review. My attention was dragged to Fritz Lang before-last American film: While the City Sleeps (1956). I have a […]

Greer Garson’s Elegant Entrance: ‘Goodbye, Mr. Chips’ (Sam Wood, 1939)
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 Wind (Victor Flemming, 1939), […]

The Alfred Hitchcock Hour: ‘See the Monkey Dance’ (Joseph Newman, 1964)
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 Presents. Each week, a new […]

David Bowie on Screen: The Linguini Incident (Richard Shepard, 1991)
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 through the years. Although […]

The High Hopes of Buster Keaton in ‘Day Dreams’ (Buster Keaton and Edward F. Cline, 1922)
It’s that time of the year again! One of my very favourite blogging events, The Annual Buster Keaton Blogathon is back for the 6th time! Hosted by the Lea over at Silent-Ology, this is the occasion for Keaton fans like me to share all kind of thoughts about this genius and his prolific on-screen career. […]

Claire Trevor on Televison: ‘Alfred Hitchcock Presents’
I’m happy to be back today for a contribution to my own blogathon, The 110 Years of Claire Trevor Blogathon, that I’m co-hosting with Crystal from In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood! As a subject, I wanted to do something else than reviewing a film (don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against […]

The 110 Years of Claire Trevor Blogathon is here!
I was super impatient to celebrate with you this golden, powerful, multi-talented actress that Claire Trevor was! When Crystal from In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood approached me to co-host a blogathon in her honour, I didn’t hesitate a second as I knew she (Claire) deserved her own event. And me and Crystal […]

No need to be a Christian to appreciate Jesus of Montreal (Denys Arcand, 1989)!
It seems like it’s been ages since I’ve written anything for a blogathon! Luckily, March is a month that has a lot of them in reserve, the perfect way for me to get back in business. And one of these blogathons is one of my very favourites; the O Canada Blogathon hosted by two amazing […]

Announcing the 110 Years of Claire Trevor Blogathon!
I feel like it’s been ages since I’ve participated in a blogathon (sorry about that!) or hosted one, but, I’m soon going to be back in business, and I’m very happy about it! Not long before Christmas, my friend Crystal from In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood contacted me to know if I’d […]

The 5th Wonderful Grace Kelly Blogathon is already over as all good things must end! It’s been a pleasure hosting it with Emily from The Flapper Dame and Samantha from Musings of a Classic Film Addict.

We have now reached the 3rd day of The 5th Wonderful Grace Kelly Blogathon that I’m hosting with Emily from The Flapper Dame and Samantha from Musings of a Classic Film Addict. It marks what would have been Grace’s 90th birthday. So far, I’ve read some marvellous entries written for day one, so I’m impatient […]

Taking a Walk On ‘Quality Street’ (George Stevens, 1937)
I’ve come to realize that I hadn’t participated in a blogathon since July (The Joan Bennett Blogathon)! I hope none of you take it personal, but with the beginning of my master in Stockholm, I didn’t want to commit myself to such things since I was afraid I might have to cancel. Anyway, Crystal (In […]

Top of the World: 10 Joan Bennett Films
If I could name one actress that I found totally intriguing, Joan Bennett’s name would probably at the top of my head. This might be because she is not the most famous or talked about star of the Golden age of Hollywood, so there’s sort of an aura of mystery around her. In the 30s, […]

More than just a film: The Manchurian Candidate (John Frankenheimer, 1962)
John Frankenheimer is one of those movie directors whose films, I feel, are so unique, that I couldn’t compare them with the work of anybody else. He fits, I believe, in the category of those “authors”. But it’s subtle and you have to look at them with a lot of reflexions. There’s a certain weirdness […]

From the Stage to the Screen: Hair (Miloš Forman, 1979)
For a movie blogger, I’m conscious that it’s quite surprising that I haven’t written about any films directed by the late Miloš Forman, the Czech movie director who had a brilliant career both in his home country and in the United States. Not a long time ago, I asked to my fellow bloggers on Twitter […]
