Wowie, Kristina, is there no end to your movies news and treasures? I’m especially glad to see Van Heflin and vintage animation getting a little love! LONDON BELONGS TO ME has me intrigued, too. Keep that swell movie info coming, my friend, and Happy Holidays!
Thanks, I always try for variety & there’s never a shortage of great stuff. Talk to you very soon :)
Thanks for sharing my Van Heflin tribute! :)
You bet; like him a lot so it’s nice to see him covered, thanks!
Nice to see a bit of Van Heflin online but The Baz is way to cool. Another link for me to research and explore.
I know what you mean, so will I since I just discovered it. the “specialized” blogs are something to behold, SO much info and research! Thanks!
Richard Attenborough looks so young in that photo! I didn’t recognize him at first.
haven’t seen this movie but couldn’t resist that photo
Wonderfully timely. Just bought bother versions of ’3:10 to Yuma’ for my wife (yes, honestly – she asked for them).
Haven’t seen the original since I was in short pants, but am looking forward to it even more now.
Excellent links – glad I found your place!
Thanks! Glad you found it, on a holiday hiatus but will be back after :), your wife has great taste in movies!
We’re trying to pass her taste down to our boys (11 & 13).
Will be watching Bells of St. Marys and Holiday Inn tonight and tomorrow….
Gotta love the old B&W films – pretty impressive that we can watch so many of them with the kids today, even though they were made for adults then.
Merry Christmas!
:)
That’s super, once you start them young… you’re right, lots of classics can be both “safe” to watch for kids yet have more adult themes. Thanks again, have a browse around and speak up anytime & Merry Christmas to you as well
Will do: your site has a LOT to see…
