Alida Valli in The White Tower (1950)
Not being a member of the CMBA, I really missed celebrating National Classic Movie Day with a blogathon. I was very annoyed when I saw that they stole it from the Classic Film & TV Cafe blog.

Least Favorite Film: Well, I didn't like the prison part of Sullivan's Travels, though overall I appreciated the film better than I did when I first saw it several years ago. The first half of The Teahouse of the August Moon was kind of tiresome but once Eddie Albert showed up it was really good. He's so great at playing an enthusiastic farmer lol. And, out of the three Airport movies, the last one was the most unrealistic. And it was the one I had most looked forward to due to de Havilland being in it.
Favorite Movie: The Mating of Millie was delightful! It had me tearing up one minute and laughing out loud in surprise the next. Highly recommend. Of course it's not on dvd :'( Alan Ladd in This Gun for Hire broke my heart (in a good way).
What a list! I loved the Gazebo when I saw it. It's just so much fun and I love how Hitchcock is part of the story. I love Sullivan's Travels but I also have to admit the prison part isn't my favourite either. PS: How come you aren't a member of CMBA?? I was sure you were!
ReplyDeleteI applied a long time ago but my blogging was all over the place and not consistent at the time. I was going to try again last year after I had been blogging my different series regularly for a year but then I started my new job and my blogging tanked again lol
