The string of films that Bing Crosby and Bob Hope did together are the original buddy comedies/films and are all a joy to watch (except for Road to Hong Kong, but that’s mostly because I’m salty about Dorothy Lamour getting the brush off for the younger Joan Collins). During my last Bing and Bob Blogathon, …
Yay! Let’s have some fun with Bing and Bob! I’ll be adding the posts as they’re published! I take us to Alaska in Road to Utopia! Gill at Reel Weegie Midget Reviews takes a spin through High Society Ruth at Silver Screenings takes us to Alias Jesse James Emily at The Flapper Dame examines Bing …
I’ll be real. This has never been my favorite Marilyn Monroe movie, but I thought I would give it a second watch for The Neighbors Blogathon and see how I felt about it the second time around. I’m still a bit conflicted about the premise itself, but there are definitely some great things in it. …
So I’m starting to dive into Lana Turner’s films in preparation for a book I’m writing, so I thought that the It’s in the Name of the Title Blogathon was the perfect opportunity to grab Johnny Eager, featuring Lana and Robert Taylor. This was my first experience with Robert, and I have to say, I …

In honor of William Holden’s birthday anniversary on April 17th, I’m participating in the Golden Boy Blogathon, hosted by The Wonderful World of Cinema. If you purchase this film, I may earn a …

Born on April 12, 1923, we’re going to dive a bit into Ann Miller! I first saw Ann in On the Town and the thing that impressed me most about her was, obviously, her tap dancing. Prehistoric Man is nothing short of spectacular. I always thought of her as the female counterpart to Gene Kelly …
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 …

Along with my return earlier this year, I’m also bringing this back. It was a lot of fun the first time around, even though we missed the last couple of years. This time, we will set it up from May 31 through June 2! These two great entertainers both have birthdays in May and I …
