I had wanted to watch Paris When It Sizzles (it was nicknamed “Paris When it Drizzles” by the cast and crew due to the terrible weather) for quite a while, mostly due to the fact that it’s one of only two movies that William Holden and Audrey Hepburn did together (the other one being Sabrina). …

When I came across Taking Up Room’s Secret Places and Trippy Houses Blogathon, I had two immediate thoughts—Gaslight (which I already wrote about) and The Picture of Dorian Gray. The latter is a trippy (ha) movie that has a secret room that Dorian always keeps locked on account of his creepy painting that just gets …
