Cary Grant is one of those actors that everybody loves or, at least, likes. There is so much about him that can easily charm us and makes him become a favourite. The man itself once said ” Everybody wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant.” He is my 4th favourite […]

This year, we celebrated Margaret Lockwood and Olivia de Havilland’s centennials via blogathons. 100 is a wonderful age (my grandmother is almost 100), but 90 too! On Fabruary 20, 2017, the great and iconic Sidney Poitier would turn 90. We are lucky he is still with us. ❤ As I love Poitier, I thought: Why […]

This weekend, Debbie from Moon in Gemini is hosting the You Gotta Have Friends Blogathon, honouring the beautiful thing that friendship is, on and off the screen. I was, for the occasion, inspired to write about the notorious British characters Charters and Caldicott, two friends portrayed by Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne. *** It all […]

To my dear blogger friends, I simply want to thank you for having participated to The 2nd Wonderful Grace Kelly Blogathon. It was a small one, but I enjoyed every moment of it and was impressed with all your articles! Remember, without your participation, there would be no blogathon! I’m sure Grace Kelly would have […]

It all started with Strauss’s The Beautiful Blue Danube… and a fatal plunge… Trapeze is one of those movies made to hold your breath, to be at the edge of your seat and contempt the colourful world of the impressive circus. I’m writing on this film today for the At the Circus Blogathon hosted by Letícia […]

High Noon. Ah! This film that I first knew as its French title: Le train sifflera trois fois. For those who have been reading my blog for long time, you probably know that High Noon is one of the films that made me discover classics, but also the film that made me discover Grace Kelly (and, as a […]

Yes! It has finally arrived! It’s Grace Kelly’s season folks! 🙂 From today until November 12, 2016 (on Grace’s birthday), awesome bloggers will be submitting awesome entries about Grace Kelly’s life and films. I’m very impatient to read them! Sadly, Grace Kelly is no longer with us and that makes me sad, but we’re here to […]

Today, on November 5th, the fascinating and tragic Vivien Leigh would have turned 103. Unfortunately, this lady who had the beauty of a goddess left us too soon at the age of 53 in 1967. But Vivien Leigh will never be forgotten had she had made her proofs as a talented actress, both in movies […]

When Christina Wehner and Ruth from Silver Screenings announced their Dual Roles Blogathon, it was not long after I had seen Brian de Palma’s Obsession for the first time so, this film had to be my choice for the event. The ladies’ blogathon celebrates movies where one actor plays more than one role (ex: Peter Sellers in […]

Margaret Lockwood. What could I first say about this actress? I love her so much, I honestly don’t know where to start. I’ve waited for this moment for so long. Oh sure, I could have written about my love and admiration for her before, but isn’t there a much perfect occasion than her centennial? Sadly, Margaret […]

Yes, The 2nd Wonderful Grace Kelly Blogathon will be back this year (why not? She’s a favourite after all!) So, if didn’t have the chance to participate last year, make sure not to miss this second edition of the blogathon! For the occasion, we’ll be honouring Grace Kelly on what would have been her 87th birthday. The […]

Yes, I’ll soon be back to school after about four months and a half of vacations (well, not complete vacations as I was also working). Anyway, back to the routine, the lectures, the work, etc. Luckily, university starts late and ends early, so I’m not starting until September 6. And fortunately, as I’m studying cinema, […]

During the whole month of August, TCM has a special event called “Summer Under the Stars”: one day, one star. Movies starring this star are broadcast on the channel from the morning until the night. Unfortunately, I don’t have TCM on my television… but that doesn’t prevent me to participate to the 2016 TCM Summer […]

Hey, fellow bloggers! I just want to thank all those who participated to the 2nd Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon. Without you, there would have been NO blogathon! I hope you had as much fun as I did by participating. I also want to thank Annmarie from Classic Movie Hub who helped me promoting this event […]

On August 29, 2016 (in two days), Ingrid Bergman, the best actress in movie history, would have been 101 years old. Sadly, this date also marks her death anniversary. But, for both reasons, I’ve decided to honour her by hosting The 2nd Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon. To host is a big entertainment, but the real fun always […]

Oyé oyé! It has finally arrived: The 2nd Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon! Once again, wonderful bloggers will honour this marvellous actress on what would have been her 101 birthday, but also her 34th death anniversary. Don’t forget, the blogathon starts today, on August 27 and will end on August 29, 2016. Please submit your […]

The Barrymore. Ah, that legendary family of actors! Ethel, John and Lionel, the three siblings were children of Maurice Barrymore and Georgiana Emma Drew, themselves actors. Acting in the family kept going on as the years passed. John and his third wife, Dolores Costello, also an actress, had a son, John Drew Barrymore, who also became an […]

To accompany her Alfred Hitchcock blogathon (which ended yesterday), Eva from Coffee, Classics and Craziness created this little questionnaire to know better our Hitchcockian tastes! Here are my answers to it. It’s always fun to discuss anything about Hitchcock! I have to say that it’s 2:15 am now, but I can’t go to bed because […]

Today, except from the fact that I was working at 10:30 and really was about to slap someone in the face, today is really one of my most favourite days of the year? Why, because we celebrate what would have been Alfred Hitchcock’s birthday. For the occasion, of course, we ought to watch some of his […]

For those who have read this blog since I created it, you probably know that I’m fond of British films (REAL British films). Following this idea, Terence Twoles Canote’s British Invaders Blogathon is one of my favourite blogging events. Last year, if you remember, I wrote about the very British Anthony Asquith’s The Importance of […]
