The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Aug 27, 2020

Here we are, folks! After a year break, my Wonderful Ingrid Bergman Blogathon is finally back! As you know, I was not able to host it last year as I was in Stockholm (Ingrid’s hometown!) and was actually too busy visiting the city. And it’s weird to think that this was already a year ago read more

When Marriage Dared to Die: Divorce American Style (Bud Yorking, 1967)

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Aug 25, 2020

I have to admit; I still haven’t seen enough films with Van Johnson despite really liking him in the not-so-well-known Three Guys Named Mike (Charles Walter, 1951).

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Aug 7, 2020

Ella Raines. A noun that sounds like poetry and a woman who certainly inspires creativity. But Ella Raines, most of all, remains what we could call a mystery or even, a myth. No, she was not a myth in the same way that Marily Monroe was (because everybody has heard of Marilyn Monroe) but more in th read more
