Discover eight double features that I imagined with films starring Ingrid Bergman, Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly! Written on my blog Three Enchanting Ladies, exclusively dedicated to these actresses.
The 6th instalment of my beloved Golden Boy Blogathon took place last Tuesday and Wednesday to concord with what would have been the great William Holden’s 106th birthday. I was joined by the awesome Emily from The Flapper Dame to co-host and celebrate this phenomenal actor the way he should be! Of course, I want to thank all […]
Recently, I’ve got tempted to participate in blogathons again, but, to tell you the truth, I also missed hosting them. Although I have various ideas in mind, I’ve decided to return with one of my classics: The Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon! I hosted that blogging event for the first time back in 2015, and this […]
Oscar season is ending tonight as we are finally reaching the award ceremony! I don’t know if I’d be able to watch them (I hope yes), but regardless, it’s an occasion to go back on this blog since it’s been a long time. And now that I forgot to cancel my Grammarly subscription, I have […]
Once in a while, the wonderful world of cinema creates matches made in Heaven (or wherever) when considering working collaborations between people in the film industry. We can think of actors and or/actresses who collaborated on many occasions due to their obvious chemistry and power to make us laugh, or make a romantic comedy a classic. […]
Have you ever heard of the Wilhelm Scream? It’s a pre-recorded sound effect used in many films, usually to express surprise when a character falls from a great height, is shot, hurt, etc. While the scream was first used in Distant Drums (Raoul Walsh, 1951), it was named after Private Wilhelm, a character in The Charge at Feather […]
“It’s a beautiful city Howard, isn’t it? I’d like to come here on our honeymoon.” – Eunice Burns (Madeline Kahn), What’s Up, Doc? *** That beautiful city that Eunice Burns is talking about is, indeed, one of the most inspiring places in the United States: San FranciscoIt might inspire a honeymoon as it is the […]
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 […]
Today, the prolific film music composer John Williams turns 88. To celebrate him, I’ve decided to share with you my 15 most favourite film scores composed by him. I believe that even if you aren’t into films, you are surely familiar with at least one of his compositions. Some of his themes sort of defined […]
I started it on October the 1st and completed it on January the 30th. The Carry On blog series has been the first “long term” project at The Wonderful World of Cinema, one that lasted much longer than I would have thought! Do I wish it would have been completed it sooner? Not necessarily, because […]
Believe it or not, this is the 30th entry of this blog series meaning that it’s the before-last one (well, not considering the eventual recap)! It feels quite weird that this fun blogging task is about to come to an end. More importantly, the film I am reviewing today, Carry On Emmannuelle (Gerald Thomas, 1978) […]
Today’s Carry On review is going to be fairly short as the 29th entry of the series has the particularity of being a recap of what the team had produced since 1958 when Carry On Sergeant introduced the series. That’s Carry On!, as it is called, was released in 1977 in a time where the production […]
That’s it, I’ve done it. I’ve watched Carry On England. Mission accomplished. Many people “warned” me that it was one of the worst Carry Ons. It’s certainly not the best, but my viewing helped me understand better why it has such a poor reputation. Carry On England (Gerald Thomas, 1976) takes place in 1940 “somewhere […]
Hey everybody! I’m back today with another Carry On review, this time exploring Carry On Behind (Gerald Thomas, 1975). Surprisingly, this film is not so much about behinds except for a few gags. Its particularity, however, resides in the fact that it was the first Carry On film since Carry On Cabby not to be […]
A few days ago, I watched what marked Talbot Rothwell’s last participation in the famous British comic Carry On franchise: Carry On Dick (Gerald Thomas, 1974). Before watching it, I honestly had no idea what to expect. I knew that the Carry Ons I had left to see were far from being the best. However, […]
This blog series is taking much more time than I was expecting BUT, in a way, that’s a good thing because it will feel weird once it will be over! And, we’ve now reached the film #25 in our exploration of these saucy and hilarious films! Carry On Girls, directed by Gerald Thomas and released […]
The 24th entry of the Carry On franchise, Carry On Abroad (Gerald Thomas, 1972), was a special one on many aspects. First, just like the previous entry, Carry On Matron, it features a good number of regulars. And these create a strong feeling of nostalgia. June Whitfield’s presence has such an impact. More than ten years […]
If you say matron to someone who is now familiar with the Carry On series, the first person he or she will associate with that word would automatically be Hattie Jacques. Indeed, the actress has portrayed the role on several occasions during the series and, as Joan Sims said, she was perfect for it. Carry […]
Welcome back to another review for the Carry On blog series! Today, I’ll be exploring Carry On at Your Convenience (Gerald Thomas, 1971). Curiously enough, Carry On at Your Convenience resulted into being the first Carry On film to lose money at the box office on its initial release. (1) Curious, because it’s far from […]
