For me, it’s all this, and more… As I wrote in my letter to Isabella Rossellini (yes, I’ve sent her a letter very recently. I […]

Just like one of my very favourite actresses, Grace Kelly, James Stewart was born in Pennsylvania. I’m happy to have seen this garden state twice in my life, when I was on my way to Washington DC… I can’t remember exactly what was the very first James Stewart’s film I saw, but it was probably […]

For the occasion of The Great Katharine Hepburn’s Blogathon, I wrote this review of The Philadelphia Story.

After an Olivia de Havilland, a William Holden and a Dolores Hart film marathon, I’ll start a Robert Young film marathon soon. I haven’t seen this actor in many movies, only two: Secret Agent and Crossfire, plus some episodes of Father Knows Best. However, I’ve always enjoyed his acting and this marathon will be a […]

Very recently, I finished a little Olivia de Havilland’s film marathon. Olivia de Havilland is my 12th favourite actress. The first objective of this marathon was to see more of her films because I liked her very much in the only two movies with her I had seen before the marathon, but I felt like […]

I have the reputation of being a big Hitchcock’s fan. Not the biggest, but maybe one of the biggest. Anyway, this is not a contest. In fact, I’m telling you this because, today, I’m going to explain to you why I love Hitchcock’s films that much. Let me tell you right now that there are […]

Spellbound is a movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock and released in 1945. The first time I watched Spellbound, I realized it was a great movie; the second time, I realized it was a very great movie and the third time (yesterday), I realized it was a masterpiece. I took a long time before seeing it. […]

This excellent drama won some important Oscars: Best […]
