The 120 “Screwball” Years of Jean Arthur Blogathon — History is Made at Night (1937)

It feels like it's been an eternity since I've had the opportunity to post on my blog. In reality this has been the longest and the most unexpected hiatus that I've ever had since Musings of a Classic Film Addict's creation back in 2016, but these are certainly unprecedented times. Not only has the coronavirus…

The Out to Sea Blogathon — Abandon Ship (1957)

Happy March, classic film fans! For many reasons, this month has been making me think of getting away and of long ocean voyages. For one thing, we're only weeks away from the TCM Classic Film Festival, and I've been daydreaming about California's coastlines ever since I left last year's fest. Each tedious work week brings…

The Leap Year Blogathon — Fun and Fancy Free (1947)

Happy leap day, classic movie fans! February 29th is always a delightful rarity, though in past years it has come and gone without much fanfare from me. As intrigued as I am at the idea of a date that only occurs once every four years, I've just never found a way to celebrate. Until this…

Cooking with the Stars Rewind — Eva Gabor’s Piperade for Two

Over the last few months, I've started thinking about how far my blog has come, especially my column Cooking with the Stars, which you might know was picked up by Classic Movie Hub one year ago. I realized that it was too bad that those who follow my blog have possibly missed out on my…

The Wedding Bells Blogathon — My Favorite Wedding Dresses in Classic Film

Happy new year, classic movie fans! It's been a while since I've been around my blog, but The Wedding Bells Blogathon, hosted by the fabulous Annette of Hometowns to Hollywood, was just too perfect to resist! As those of you who follow me on social media may know, I got engaged myself this month, so…

The Second Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers Blogathon — Having Wonderful Time (1938)

It's almost 2020! Can you believe it? I feel so strange about the arrival of the new decade and I know I haven't been writing much towards the end of this year, but one event beckoned me back to Musings of a Classic Film Addict: none other than the second-coming of The Fred Astaire and…

The Luso World Cinema Blogathon — Down Argentine Way (1940)

There are so many wonderful things for fans of classic cinema to celebrate in November, and I've been spending my time appreciating as many as I can this month! From amazing birthdays like those of Vivien Leigh, Veronica Lake, Joel McCrea, and more to the ever-present theme of November to fans of the dark side…

The 5th Wonderful Grace Kelly Blogathon — Grace Kelly’s Ratatouille Nicoise

Grace Kelly was not my first favorite actress, but so far in my discovery of classic cinema, the Princess of Monaco continues to be one of my most enduring favorite stars. I continue to adore her, idolize her, and attempt to embody her inner and outer beauty to this day, so it seems like it…

The Grace Kelly Blogathon is Here — Day 2

Even though tomorrow marks what would have been the Princess of Monaco's 90th birthday, Grace Kelly fans worldwide have already began writing tributes to this blonde screen goddess! There are few events that I look forward to more than The Wonderful Grace Kelly Blogathon, which is hosted every year by Virginie of The Wonderful World…

The Murder, She Wrote Cookalong — Ann Blyth’s Blueberry Muffins

As some of you may know, I've had to spend some time away from my blog and the internet over the last couple of weeks due to health concerns. It's been so hard to have the desire to cook, write, and discuss classic movies while not being able to do anything about it. I wasn't…
