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 […]
Today marks what would have been the 102nd birthday of my second most favourite actor, the one and only Golden Boy; William Holden! As you know, I’ve hosted a blogathon in his honour for four consecutive years. Sadly, I am not able to make it this year due to being very busy with my master […]
As I start writing this article, it is currently March 6. I’m sitting in a café in Södermalm, the in neighbourhood where I’m living in Stockholm. I’ve never been there before (I like discovering new places to broaden my options). I don’t feel it’s the best place in terms of coffee quality, but it’s decent […]
Hello, dear Film Noir addicts (or not)! We’re now half-way through #Noirvember and, so far, I have only published one blog post for the occasion that you can read here. The other day on Letterboxd I made a list of all the films noirs I had seen so far and came to realize it was […]
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. Even after five years, people still have a lot of various subjects to discuss in connection to Grace Kelly! […]
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 […]
Hello dear readers! A few years ago, I wrote a text for university on the different representations of women in the film noir movement. I thought it would be fun to translate the text (because it was originally written in French) and share it here for #Noirvember! I hope you’ll enjoy it! Warning: Because this […]
Happy Halloween to all! Three years ago, I did a little top 20 of my favourite films to watch on October 31st. I thought it would be fun to do another list because I have discovered more films in the past three years. Instead of doing a top list, I’m going to present these films […]
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 […]
The following text has initially been written for a class on film directors I attended at Concordia University. I hope you will appreciate it. It goes without saying that Sir Alfred Hitchcock is still one of the most acclaimed movie directors among contemporary cinephiles. His impressive filmography is often the object of various researches and […]
We all have different reactions when it comes to watching classic films. Some overanalyze the meaning of the film, some get interested in its historical context, some develop a crush for and actor or an actress, some sing while watching a musical (I have a lot of difficulties not to sing while watching Hair), etc. […]
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, […]
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 […]
Happy National Classic Movie Day to all! Today, for the occasion, Rick from Classic Film & TV Café is hosting the 5 Favorite Films of the 50s Blogathon. I don’t think I need to explain further what it’s all about! The 50s being one of my top favorite decades in cinema history, I was non-hesitant […]
Originally posted on Three Enchanting Ladies: The following statement is a fact: Audrey Hepburn was one of the most iconic, lovely and stylish actresses to have ever graced the screen. It’s not surprising that, nowadays, she still continues to inspire people with her smile, acting skills, look and philanthropy. Three of my most favourite actresses…
In 1955, Doris Day was already a well-established actress and music entertainer. She was making films since 1948 (Romance on the High Seas) and had quickly conquered our hearts with her enchanting voice, her smile and her sense of fun. In 1955, she also delivered what is considered to be one of the best performances […]
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.
