DeleteHi Phyl.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm down to do the three versions of Titanic, but I don't think I will able to participate this time around. I've been so busy, as I also write for a classic film website and I'm also in the early stages and about to commence research for a proposed book. However I still would like to contribute something, but I won't be on Titanic, as you have to delve into a lot of detail for that. If I have time I will pick another topic. It will be in late though.
That's totally ok! I know how hard it is to write a post when you have so much else to do. This weekend has ended up being more busy than usual for me too so my post is going to be last minute haha.
DeleteIf you have time to write something, great! If not that's ok. And you don't have to let me know your topic beforehand.
I like the sound of a proposed book! Can't wait to hear more about that! :)
My posting is up now, on Frank Capra's Lady for a Day (1933) and Pockeful of Miracles (1961).

ReplyDeleteI’ll think about it :) I couldn’t do it till late summer or fall though as I already have four Blogathons lined up for the first half of the year, two of them being the annual de Havilland one and the second movie houses one.
