It’s no secret that Lucille Ball, Gene Kelly, and Red Skelton are huge names in classic movie and TV, but when Du Barry was a Lady came out in 1943, they were all early on in their careers. Du Barry Was a Lady was considered a B movie at the time and Lucy was firmly

Okay, here is my second entry for this blogathon. We’re going again to Frank Sinatra and Betty Garrett. As I mentioned in my Take Me Out to the Ball Game post, it is not so much that I find them mismatched as they have opposite personalities. In Frank’s earlier years, he often played the shy

When I saw this blogathon, I knew exactly which movie couple I wanted to focus on. Frank Sinatra and Betty Garrett starred together in both Take Me Out to the Ball Game and On the Town (which is getting its own separate post). In this case, I’m looking at their personality traits as being mismatched,

I’m a giant Sinatra fan, so when the topic of a so bad, it’s good movie came up, I knew I wanted to do this one. The Kissing Bandit gets a LOT of flack, but, there are plenty of redeeming moments in a pretty goofy and at moments, problematic, movie. If you purchase this film,

Getting taken to an island against my will sounds like a terrifying experience, but if it was Peter Lawford like in On an Island with You, maybe it wouldn’t be so terrible. You can check out my upcoming Peter Lawford Blogathon for more on him! On an Island with You has a combination of people

For my entry in the Bing and Bob Blogathon, I decided to write about the last true Road to movie – The Road to Bali from 1952. Yes, I know that there is The Road to Hong Kong, but without Dorothy Lamour as a main character, it falls short for me. She made a cameo,
With both of their birthdays in the month of May, I thought it would be a fitting tribute to these funny guys to have a blogathon in their honor! I love them in the Road to movies and they were individual talents in their separate projects as well. My entry will be up soon and

Bing Crosby and Bob Hope were great together and both have birthdays in May, so I thought it would be a great chance to celebrate these two! They played off each other so well and were a lot of fun to watch. They also have so many movies between the two of them, including a

In honor of Doris Day’s birthday, I wanted to write about one of her movies that I hadn’t watched in a while. Calamity Jane is definitely my favorite, but since I’ve already written about that one and love Frank Sinatra, I decided to go with Young at Heart. Synopsis: The musical Tuttle family enjoys playing
