So as I promised (more or less), I'm back with another review of an Irene Dunne film, none other than The Awful Truth, one of her best known movies and her first collaboration with Cary Grant, with whom she went on to make two more films (My Favorite Wife and Penny Serenade). The Awful Truth… Continue reading Cary and Irene Are As Charming As Ever in The Awful Truth (1937)

Theodora Goes Wild (1936)
There is this slightly wacky and sweet 1936 movie named Theodora Goes Wild, directed by Richard Boleslawsky and with Irene Dunne in the title role. To be completely honest, I initially thought nobody in the classic film community had heard of this film, but after finding a couple of reviews of it online, it turns… Continue reading Theodora Goes Wild (1936)
Celebrating Doris Day: April in Paris (1952)
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)
Movie Review: Holiday (1938)
It's been almost a month since I last typed up something for this old blog, and, I think, as much time since I last saw a B&W movie... now, that's a long time. Luckily, Holiday came to rescue; I had previously signed up for The Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn Blogathon, hosted by Love Letters… Continue reading Movie Review: Holiday (1938)
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)
Movie Review: Brief Encounter (1945)
I promised myself that I'd be reviewing this film as soon as I have seen it, and here I am. I must admit that my first time hearing about this movie was when I read, very recently, that it had been rated as the #1 most romantic movie of all times. So, it wasn't Casablanca,… Continue reading Movie Review: Brief Encounter (1945)
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
Movie Review: Design for Living (1933)
So apparently, I haven't done a decent movie review since May, even though I have rambled about my love for certain films' aesthetics quite regularly. Well, I think it is about time to do a good ol' movie review again, especially since the desire to write movie reviews was one of the main reasons why… Continue reading Movie Review: Design for Living (1933)
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)
Movie Review: Love in the Afternoon
I kind of kept postponing writing this review for days. I don't know why, since I LOVED the movie and watching it instantly sparked the idea of writing a review. However, now that we're here, I want to share the magic and bliss of this wonderful Billy Wilder film. Starring Audrey Hepburn, Gary Cooper and… Continue reading Movie Review: Love in the Afternoon
