Wow! We’ve already reached the 5th article of this blogging series! And of all the Carry On films, it had to be Carry On Regardless (1961) which I enjoyed immensely. Of course, we still have a lot to explore, but I’m becoming more and more fond of the Carry On franchise. I also want to […]

I can’t believe I’ve already reviewed three of the Carry On films! And here we go for a fourth one: Carry On Constable (1960)! I know, it’s just four out of 31, but I feel that is looking more and more like a blogging series, no? By the way, I just went to the library […]

Are you ready for number three? When Carry On Teacher was released, in 1959, Carry On was now a trilogy. Oh, but there was much more to come! At this point, I believe people were getting more and more familiar with the concept of Carry On films and expected to see the familiar faces of […]

We’re continuing the Carry On blog series today with Carry On Nurse (1959), which officially was the 2nd film of the funny British series! Producer Peter Rogers, director Gerald Thomas, and screenwriter Norman Hudis reunited after the success of Carry On Sergeant (1958) to create another one of these highly amusing films. This time, instead of […]

I’m glad to officially enter in my Carry On blogging series with a first feedback! As I told you in my announcement post, I began my exploration with Carry On Sergeant (1958), which marked the beginning of the Carry On film series. The film based on the play The Bull Boys by R.F. Delderfield was […]

We’ve come to that point where The Wonderful World of Cinema (me) wants to expand its horizons and do something very original: a blogging series! I’m kidding; this is not original at all as it has been done by several bloggers before. However, this is something that allows a blog to personalize itself a little […]

British playwright Noël Coward was considered one of the most prolific figures of the theatre world. Not only did he wrote plays, but also directed, acted (both on stage and in films), composed, and sang. Known for his unique fancy style and his originality, Noël Coward surely became an undeniable British icon. Several of his […]

It often happens that, when I watch a film I think “hum, this film makes me think of another one. Therefore, they would make a good double feature.” I have several ideas of interesting movie matches, and I thought it was about time to write a blog post about it. However, I might do it […]

It might not be a surprise to some of you that I’ve dedicated a devoted passion to British actress Margaret Lockwood. She was England’s most popular actress in the 40s and starred in some popular films at the time such as The Lady Vanishes, The Wicked Lady or The Man in Grey. Margaret had a […]

Oh, Hitchcock, good old Hitchcock. What would be The Wonderful World of Cinema without any discussions about his films? Well, it’s been a long time since we didn’t have one and Maddy’s Third Hitchcock Blogathon that she is hosting on her blog Maddy Loves Her Classic Films seems to be the perfect occasion for that. […]

I wonder if you ever saw the photo of someone and then just became curious to know more about this subject. It was someone you had never heard of before, but, now that you have, you have developed a devoted admiration for him or her. This is what happened to me and Jean Simmons. I […]

I realized that I actually never wrote anything about Stanley Kubrick’s work on this blog, which is surprising coming from a cinephile. Well, that is if you don’t count my article on Laurence Olivier’s performance in Spartacus. I was very inspired and proud of this text, but it still was more about Olivier than Kubrick. […]

Ah, Lawrence of Arabia… An illustrious man and the subject of one of movie history’s best films. It is British movie director David Lean who created this masterpiece. With movies like Lawrence of Arabia (of course), Great Expectations, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Doctor Zhivago and Brief Encounter, he is considered to be one of […]

Unlike Gone With the Wind or The Wizard of Oz, A Girl Must Live is far from being 1939’s most well-known film, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth seeing. I’m reviewing this film for the Fourth Annual British Invaders Blogathon, hosted by Terrence from A Shroud of Thoughts. As I’m always willing to promote […]

From March 2015 to April 2017, I was writing the monthly Teen Scene column for the website ClassicFlix. My objective was to promote classic films among teenagers and young adults. Due to the establishing of a new version of the website, it’s now more difficult to access to the old version and read the reviews. […]

This semester, I’m attending a course on Irish cinema. Each week, we are expected to write a blog-like journal about the film we watched in class and/or our class discussion about the film. I’ve decided to include those entries to my blog, so it would be more agreeable to read than a Word document. This […]

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 […]
