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…

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…

Announcing The Fifth Wonderful Grace Kelly Blogathon!

Long time no see, classic film fans! I know it's been a little while since I've written anything for you guys, but I'm back with an awesome announcement! Virginie of The Wonderful World of Cinema, who has previously hosted four amazing blogathons in honor of Grace Kelly, recently got in touch with me and asked…

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 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.…
