Hold it! Stop everything you’re doing everybody because The Wonderful World of Cinema is 4 years old today! Still quite young but, for a blog, it’s quite an achievement. As a matter of fact, I feel it has been much longer! I was quite amazed when I received that notification from WordPr read more

Oh, Dolores. Where do I start? Back in 2011, maybe? Well, that’s when I first heard about her anyway. You see, my uncle who is a writer wrote a book called Elvis & Dolores, which was published in 2013. The story takes place in 2010 in a small city of Maine. However, it actually revolves a read more

I’m finally back to blogathon business and, don’t worry, I’ll eventually give you an explanation why I recently skipped so many I had subscribed to. But for now, I hope you accept my apologies! Anyway, I said “enough” and made a choice: today, I’m writing for my read more

My Dolores Hart Blogathon, known as From the Star to A Star: Celebrating Dolores Hart, is finally here! I’ve announced this event at the end of July, so obviously we waited a lot!

  Already three years ago, Crystal from In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood hosted a blogathon in honour of Lauren Bacall. Three years later, she is B-A-C-K with a second edition of the event celebrating “The Look”. Even if I still have mixed feelings on my appreciation for La read more

Yesterday, veteran actor Earl Holliman turned 90! I’ve always liked him for being an actor without any false pretensions. Highly underrated, he surely deserved more recognition. If you remember, a bit more than two years ago, I wrote him a letter to which he answered with two autographed phot read more

Ah, Jo, Joseph, Joseph Cotten… What a man! Perhaps one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood, he surely deserves his own tribute. And his own blogathon! Crystal from In The Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood and Maddy from Maddy Loves Her Classic Films are back to take care of that! Of c read more

Hello everybody! As usual, next November, I’ll be hosting The Wonderful Grace Kelly Blogathon (4th edition) in honour of this unique lady. But, but, but! I made a little change this year as I asked Emily from The Flapper Dame to co-host the event with me and she gladly accepted! She had previ read more

I had a great surprise when I woke up yesterday. I saw that The Wonderful World of Cinema‘s Facebook page had been tagged by Feedspot Blog Reader‘s Facebook Page. So, as I naturally wondered what it was all about, I decided to go and see (natch) to discover that my blog had been selected read more

I had a hard time finding a title who would do justice to this post. But let me explain what this article is about. Yesterday, I was thinking about all these facts from Alfred Hitchcock films and career that people tend to forget, or that are a bit weird or that not everybody necessarily notices. I read more

Three Enchanting Ladies It’s that day of the year again: August 29 or Ingrid Bergman’s birthday (and unfortunately, also her 36th death anniversary). For the occasion, I’m, once again, hosting my Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon via my main blog The Wonderful World Of Cinema. But I decided read more

The Barrymores were to Hollywood what the Redgraves were to England: A “royal” family of talented actors, expended on more than one generation. My friend Crystal is one of the Barrymore’s great admirers and she reminds it to us every year with her always expected Barrymore Trilogy read more

The other day, I decided to read old diaries I was writing during my high school years. And honestly, that was a very entertaining read as I apparently had a lot of interesting things to say. However, the truly fascinating thing about it was to read about the actors and the films I was discovering. read more

I invite you to read my text on Ingrid Bergman as a transnational figure. read more

La Nuit américaine (Day for Night) is one of those films I watched during the first years of my cinematic exploration. I remember liking back then but when I saw it for the second time years after, at the Outremont Theatre in Montreal, my reaction to it was completely different. I the right way. I read more
