It’s been a pleasure hosting it with Emily from The Flapper Dame and Samantha from Musings of a Classic Film Addict.

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

The Wonderful World of Cinema’s 5th Anniversary! +Q & A Launching!

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 21, 2019

What does The Wonderful World of Cinema and My Fair Lady have in common? They both celebrate their anniversary on October 21st! Well, there’s a gap of 50 years between them. Indeed, while the lovely musical has been released 55 years ago today, my blog, on its side, has been created already 5 read more

Carry On #15: Carry On Doctor

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 19, 2019

We’re already half-way through the Carry On series! Time flies! And to mark the occasion, we are back with Carry On Doctor (Gerald Thomas, 1968), a good, funny and typical Carry On, after the disappointment of Follow That Camel. The film felt like a big demonstration of nostalgia, and we LOVE read more

Carry On #16: Carry On…Up the Khyber

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 19, 2019

After the failure of Don’t Lose Your Head and Follow That Camel, the Carry On team went back to their original narrative structure with the very nostalgic Carry On Doctor. However, if this one seemed to be a farewell to the public that had followed the peripeties of the Carry On regulars for read more

Carry On #14: Follow That Camel

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 17, 2019

Ouch. How could I put this into simple words? Let say that Follow That Camel (Gerald Thomas, 1967) is not excellent. It’s not completely bad either, and it remains enjoyable. But it’s weak if you compare it to many of the other Carry On films and a disappointment after watching Don̵ read more

Carry On #13: Don’t Lose Your Head

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 16, 2019

I wasn’t expecting much from Don’t Lose Your Head (Gerald Thomas, 1967). To me, it felt as if it was going to be one of these nice but somehow forgettable Carry Ons. That was mostly because the film is not necessarily the most famous or the most talked-about of the series, just one amon read more

Carry On #12: Carry On Screaming!

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 15, 2019

As I told you at the end of my last article, today, I’ll be reviewing a film that is perfect for Halloween season: Carry On Screaming! It’s still mid-October, so this gives you the second half of the month to see it! read more

Carry On #11: Carry On Cowboy

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 14, 2019

After a very short break from reviewing Carry On films, I’m back with this western movie parody: Carry On Cowboy (Gerald Thomas, 1965)! The film marked Angela Douglas, Peter Butterworth, and Bernard Bresslaw’s first appearances in the franchise.  I must admit that Carry On Cowboy is amo read more

Taking a Walk On ‘Quality Street’ (George Stevens 1937)

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 12, 2019

I’ve come to realize that I hadn’t participated in a blogathon since July (The Joan Bennett Blogathon)! I hope none of you are taking it personal but with the beginning of my master in Stockholm, I didn’t want to commit myself to such things since I was afraid I might have to canc read more

Carry On #10: Carry On Cleo

The Wonderful World of Cinema Posted by Virginie Pronovost on Oct 10, 2019

Through this fun blog series, we’ve already explored a total of ten Carry On films! Of course, we’re not even halfway through them, but I’m glad this is going so well so far! Oh, before I continue, yesterday, I discovered some beautiful photos of Kenneth Williams and Ingrid Bergma read more
