A 2nd Sunshine Blogger Award for The Wonderful World of Cinema!
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Dec 10, 2019
Around two weeks ago, The Classic Movie Muse contacted me to let me know that she had nominated me for a Sunshine Blogger Award! Thank you!! What an honour! The Classic Movie Muse is a lovely blog I discovered quite recently when I was hosting the 5th Grace Kelly Blogathon. I’m sure many blog read more
Carry On #26: Carry On Dick
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Dec 9, 2019
A few days ago, I watched what marked Talbot Rothwell’s last participation in the famous British comic Carry On franchise: Carry On Dick (Gerald Thomas, 1974). Before watching it, I honestly had no idea what to expect. I knew that the Carry Ons I had left to see were far from being the best. read more
Carry On #25: Carry On Girls
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Dec 2, 2019

Carry On #24: Carry On Abroad
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Nov 29, 2019
The 24th entry of the Carry On franchise, Carry On Abroad (Gerald Thomas, 1972), was a special one on many aspects. First, just like the previous entry, Carry On Matron, it features a good number of regulars. And these create a strong feeling of nostalgia. June Whitfield’s presence has such a read more
Carry On #23: Carry On Matron
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Nov 24, 2019
If you say matron to someone that is now familiar with the Carry On series, the first person he or she will associate with that word would automatically be Hattie Jacques. Indeed, the actress has portrayed the role on several occasions during the series and, as Joan Sims said, she pretty much was p read more
Carry On #22: Carry On at Your Convenience
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Nov 19, 2019
Welcome back to another review of the Carry On blog series! Today, I’ll be exploring Carry On at Your Convenience (Gerald Thomas, 1971). Curiously enough, Carry On at Your Convenience resulted into being the first Carry On film to actually lose money at the box office on its initial release. read more
Carry On #21: Carry On Henry
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Nov 16, 2019
After taking a two-week break from writing about Carry On films, I’m back with Carry On #21: Carry On Henry (Gerald Thomas, 1971), which parodies the life of the notorious king of England, Henry VIII. Well, a “break” is not a good expression since, so far, I loved reviewing the va read more

Desert Island Discs: Grace Kelly, the Arts and Monaco
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Nov 12, 2019
Three Enchanting Ladies Today, the enchanting Grace Kelly would have been 90 years old. It always makes me sad to think that she could still be with us. This brings many questionings, such as what would be her approach to the world now, how she would have continued to make Monaco an attractive plac read more

#Noirvember: The various Representations of Women in Film Noir
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Nov 2, 2019
Hello dear readers! A few years ago, I wrote a text for university on the different representations of women in the film noir movement. I thought it would be fun to translate the text (because it was originally written in French) and share it here for #Noirvember! I hope you’ll enjoy it! Warni read more
Top of the World: More Films Recommendations for Halloween!
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 31, 2019
Happy Halloween to all! Three years ago, I did a little top 20 of my favourite films to watch on October 31st. I thought it would be fun to do another list because I have discovered more films in the past three years. Instead of doing a top list, I’m going to present these films in chronologic read more
Carry On #20: Carry On Loving
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 30, 2019
We’ve already reached the 20th review for the Carry On blog series! Incredible! I must admit tho, that I didn’t hurry too much on watching Carry On Loving (Gerald Thomas, 1970). Aside from the fact that I had to work on school stuff, looking at some ratings on the films on the Internet, read more
Carry On #19: Carry On Up the Jungle
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 26, 2019
Even if Carry On Up the Jungle (Gerald Thomas, 1970) isn’t remembered as one of the best Carry Ons, I was looking forward to watching it as it marked the return of Kenneth Connor, now a huge favourite of mine, after an absence of six years. My reaction to Up the Jungle was similar to the one read more
Carry On #18: Carry On Again Doctor
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 24, 2019
Carry On Again Doctor is not a sequel to Carry On Camping as it features different characters, but if we regroup these two films with Carry On Nurse, it forms a trilogy within the Carry On series itself. We could call it the hospital trilogy. However, despite featuring different characters, one mig read more
Carry On #17: Carry On Camping
The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 23, 2019
Before I go on with this article, I have to tell you this amusing life story. I was on the bus earlier this evening to come back home and, I swear, I saw Charles Hawtrey’s doppelganger. Seriously, I wouldn’t have been surprised if he would have said: “Oh, helllllo!” That wa read more
