Once in a while, the wonderful world of cinema creates matches made in Heaven (or wherever) when considering working collaborations between people in the film industry. We can think of actors and or/actresses who collaborated on many occasions due to their obvious chemistry, their power to make us l read more

Good morning (or afternoon or evening or night, depending on where you are in the world) and welcome to the 2nd day of The 5th Golden Boy Blogathon : A William Holden Celebration! Today, we’re exploring and reading more entries written for this blogging event, following day 1, hosted by Emily read more

William Holden’s voice was the finest in Hollywood.   Yes, he had luscious looks, a fantastic physique, and awesome acting skills.  But that voice was magical, a precious thing bottled up like perfume and released regularly when we needed a thrill. His baritone had a unique timbre, coming from deep read more

The 5th Golden Boy Blogathon : A William Holden Celebration begins today! Make sure to visit Emily’s blog, The Flapper Dame, as she is hosting Day 1! The Flapper Dame Day 1 of The 5th William Holden Golden Boy Blogathon has arrived!!! I’m gonna be your host all day today!! Please keep in min read more

I always found myself deeply fortunate to share my birthday with the wonderful and sparkling Doris Day, who wasn’t only a great singer but also a brilliant (and underrated) actress. And overall, she’s someone who constantly brings joy to my life. Listening to Doris Day music or watching read more

Spring is at our doors and is about to begin in about a week (depending on when you read that). And who says “spring!” says… Well certainly doesn’t say “Christmas”. Yet, we’re going to talk about Christmas, at least a little bit. You see, Lea at the excellen read more

Have you ever heard of the Wilhelm Scream? It’s a pre-recorded sound effect used in many films, usually to express surprise when a character falls from a great height, is shot, hurt, etc. While the scream was first used in Distant Drums (Raoul Walsh, 1951), it was named after Private read more

We sometimes forget that Kim Novak is one of those classic actresses still with us today. I’m not sure why that is, except maybe that she’s not so much in the public eye anymore. Et pourtant… She was pretty much an icon of her time, maybe not like Marilyn Monroe or Grace Kelly read more

Well, well, well! Are we excited, or are we not? I am because I’m thrilled to announce that the Golden Boy Blogathon, honouring the one and only William Holden, is back this year for a fifth edition! Like it was the case for the 3rd and 4th edition, I’ll be co-hosting with the fanta read more

Earlier this week, the Academy of Motion Pictures and Science announced the finalists for the 94th edition of the Academy Awards. Congratulations to all the nominees! For the occasion, I thought it would be fun to make a top list connected to the Oscars. In the past, I’ve presented you a list read more

I made the surprising (or not) discovery the other day that I participated in absolutely… ZERO blogathons during the whole duration of 2021. There were several reasons for that, but now I’m back in force with my first blogathon of 2022: The John Williams Blogathon hosted by Rebecca from read more

Earlier today, I confirmed, thanks to Letterboxd (the social network of cinephiles), that I had seen a total of 199 new-to-me films in 2021. Not bad! That included fiction films, documentaries, short, medium-length and feature films. I might have forgotten to register some. I don’t know. So, l read more

The other day, I realized that I hadn’t written anything on my blog for almost five months. And that’s a shame. The main reason is that last June I got a job working in the communication department for Montreal International Documentary Festival (most commonly known as the RIDM. R-I-D-M. read more

About two years ago, I published an article where I discussed films that, in my opinion, would fit well together and make credible double features. Carol’s Double Bill blog series that she published on The Old Hollywood Garden inspired that idea. As a total, I made a list of ten matches, but t read more

During the last weeks, I told you that I had decided to change the header photo of my blog and its Facebook page. I picked twelve photos from a chosen theme: 60s comedies and musicals from the 60s (in colour!). And, during three rounds, you cast your vote into randomly chosen polls. And today, we fi read more

We have now reached the final round of my little photo competition, which shall determine which new photo I will use as a header for my blog and my Facebook page! Remember, I chose 12 photos from comedies and musicals made in the 60s. During the first round, you decided which six photos should move read more

I informed you that I was ready for a new header photo for this blog in my previous post. To determine which photo would have this honour, I selected 12 photos from films respecting the following theme: comedies and musicals from the 60s (in colour). I organized random matches between the photos and read more

You know, I’ve been using that photo of The Philadelphia Story as a header for my blog for four years now. I like it, it’s a great photo but, to be honest, I’m ready for a change, something new! If you remember correctly, that cover photo was chosen thanks to your help and votes. I read more

I really have bad blogging habits these days! I have to get back in business and publish more often than I have so far in 2021. Anyway, I had the idea to discuss my monthly film challenges and, more particularly, the one I did in March. I started these challenges in January when I decided that I had read more

I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve published something directly on this blog! Well, it was in January when I shared my review of Marlon Brando’s biography written by Patricia Bosworth. And I’m back today with another book review! This time, I’ll be giving you my a read more
