The Third Van Johnson Blogathon — Week-End at the Waldorf (1945)

August has flown by so quickly, hasn't it? After taking a look back at the last few weeks, I don't find it difficult to believe that I've hardly posted on Musings of a Classic Film Addict this month. A lot has been going on in my life, and I've devoted the few moments that I've…

The Joan Bennett Blogathon — Two in a Crowd (1936)

It feels like it's been forever since I've properly participated in a blogathon, even if it's actually only been a few weeks. One would think that the summer would bring about lots of fun and exciting events for classic movie fans to participate in, but whether there are fewer blogathons in general or simply fewer…

The Janet Leigh Blogathon — The Romance of Rosy Ridge (1947)

Janet Leigh is one of those classic film actresses who has always intrigued me from afar. During my discovery of vintage cinema, I've had the pleasure of watching some of her most influential pictures like Psycho (1960), Touch of Evil (1958), and most recently Holiday Affair (1949), which has become a recent holiday classic on…

The Fourth Annual Olivia de Havilland Blogathon — Eating Like Olivia de Havilland

Today's the day! To me, July 1st is one of the best days of the year for being a classic movie fan. Every July I feel like I'm part of a worldwide birthday party for Olivia de Havilland, who at 103 years young continues to grace fans everywhere with her delightful presence. It's almost like…

The Calls of Cornwall: The Daphne du Maurier Blogathon — Frenchman’s Creek (1944)

In the three years that I've been participating in blogathons, I've seen scores of original ideas come my way. Usually the blogathons that I've noticed and participated in honor a particular classic movie star, film genre, or anniversary, and I've even seen a few that are centered around the holidays that occur throughout the year.…

Dear Mr. Gable: A Celebration of the King of Hollywood Blogathon — Night Nurse (1931)

I have to admit that the start of my new job on top of some of my other writing commitments have kept me from following through on some of the blogathons that I've signed up for lately, which really disappoints me. Nothing makes me feel worse than missing the opportunity to talk about any and…

The Joan Crawford: Queen of the Silver Screen Blogathon — Johnny Guitar (1954)

I feel like it's been forever and a day since I've written an article for a blogathon! In reality it's only been just over a month, but I'm still so glad that I'm able to participate in The Joan Crawford: Queen of the Silver Screen Blogathon hosted by two of my favorite bloggers, Gabriela of…

The Third Doris Day Blogathon — Move Over, Darling (1963)

Today is an exciting day for me! Not only is it exactly one week before I fly out to California for the 10th Annual TCM Classic Film Festival, it's also the 97th birthday of Doris Day, one of the most extraordinary singers and actresses who ever graced the radio and silver screen. I've admired her…

The Mystery Mania Blogathon — The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939)

There may only be eleven days left before I jet to Los Angeles for the TCM Classic Film Festival, but I intend to make the most of this time and still squeeze in a few more reviews before I immerse myself in Old Hollywood glamour. One thing that I knew I couldn't miss out on…
