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 …
I’m excited to be joining with Crystal at In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood for the return of the Judy Garland Blogathon! Judy has been a long-time favorite of mine and we will be paying tribute to her from June 8th through June 10th for the anniversary of her birth! Like many, I …

Since I’m in a Lana Turner kick, I was excited to find a film that she and Agnes Moorehead were in together. Keep Your Powder Dry at first seemed a bit silly, but it packed an emotional punch toward the end that left me reeling. Agnes didn’t have a huge part in it. We see …

I’m a bit late with this one, but between the insane week and celebating my daughter’s birthday, I did what I could! 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 …

With so many great films by Alfred Hitchcock, I was really excited to see that Rope hadn’t yet been taken for the Master of Suspense Blogathon. I have a few that I consider my favorites, and this is definitely one of them. The suspense here is intense and the long shots are impressive. Not only …
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, …
