Monsieur, soon it will be springtime in Paris. The children will be dancing in the Bois de Boulogne; men with tiny carts will be selling marrons chauds in the streets, and everywhere young couples will be in each other's arms, kissing. Have pity on a man who only breathes, lives, and loves when he's in… Continue reading Celebrating Doris Day: April in Paris (1952)

Love is No More Than the Touching of Two Skins: Goodbye Again (1961)
I'll admit this - ever since my earliest days of blogging, as soon as I figured out what a "blogathon" is, I kind of wanted to take part in one... but, I guess I never really had the time or I didn't come across a subject that appealed to me enough. Anyway, when I saw… Continue reading Love is No More Than the Touching of Two Skins: Goodbye Again (1961)
Anthony Perkins’s Birthday & Movie Marathon
Exactly a year ago, I wrote one of my first blogposts which was dedicated to Anthony Perkins. Well, a year later I still want to mark this irresistible actor's birthday and for that occasion, I treated myself with a little Perkins movie marathon. It didn't include Psycho, but oh well, it did include some interesting… Continue reading Anthony Perkins’s Birthday & Movie Marathon
Anne Brontë: The Sister Who Deserves More Credit
A year ago I probably wouldn't find myself writing a post dedicated to Anne Brontë - I'd probably be more interested in her sisters, who I still do appreciate and love very much, but after reading one of her novels and reading bits of her biography, mostly online, I feel the urge to somehow honor… Continue reading Anne Brontë: The Sister Who Deserves More Credit
Celebrating Rita Hayworth: Cover Girl (1944)
Today (or yesterday, depending on what your timezone tells you) on October 17th, we celebrate 101 year from birth of one of the Old Hollywood screen goddesses, the unforgettable Rita Hayworth. And it's worth mentioning that October the 17th also marks the would-be birthday of Montgomery Clift, another one of my Old Hollywood favorites, but… Continue reading Celebrating Rita Hayworth: Cover Girl (1944)
120 Years of Alfred Hitchcock: Films I’ve Seen
On this very day, August 14th, we mark what would have been birthday of one of the most celebrated movie directors... *drumroll* Alfred Hitchcock! (Okay, I really suck at writing these introductions, I know). However, I have been looking forward to writing this post and marking Hitchcock's birthday for weeks, so I decided I just… Continue reading 120 Years of Alfred Hitchcock: Films I’ve Seen
Kafka’s Literary Birthday
Today is July 3rd, which would've been the 136th anniversary of Franz Kafka's birth. I'm currently reading a book of his short stories, therefore the occasion is quite appropriate. Also, I've made a collage with some photos that speak kafkaesque to me (to myself personally, at least), some of which are inspired by his works,… Continue reading Kafka’s Literary Birthday
Audrey Hepburn’s 90th Birthday
It's April 4th 2019, a 90-year-jubilee of the birth of Audrey Hepburn, one of the most kind-hearted human beings I know about. Sadly, she's not with us anymore, but that doesn't mean her fans and admirers won't honor her on this day. I decided to make a little question tag (is that what they're called?)… Continue reading Audrey Hepburn’s 90th Birthday
Anthony Perkins’ Birthday And a Movie Review
Today we celebrate what would have been Anthony Perkins' 87th birthday and I'm happy to say that I honored him how he deserves, by watching one of his movies (whose review is also included in this post)! I have to admit that I'm quite new to the Tony Perkins fandom - if there's such a… Continue reading Anthony Perkins’ Birthday And a Movie Review
