This is my contribution to the It’s a Wonderful Life Blogathon: A 75th Anniversary Celebration hosted by The Classic Movie Muse Blog. In this video I wanted to celebrate the 75th anniversary of this dear classic by taking a look at the noir aspects or the 'noir connection' that this film has. I will be giving you my take on some its elements, the people who made it possible while I pay a little special tribute to Gloria Grahame. As always, I hope that you enjoy!

Happy Birthday to Rosalind Russell! (4th June 1907 - 28th November 1976)

“It’s fine to have talent, but talent is the last of it. In an acting career, as in an acting performance, you’ve got to have vitality. The secret of successful acting is identical with a woman’s beauty secret: joy in living.”

Last video dedicated to classic adventure movies is up! I was meaning to publish another one last week but life got in the way and I couldn’t. I always meant to end this April adventure month by talking about CAPTAIN BLOOD (1935) which was one of my grandmother’s favorite movies and she passed this love on to me. I am an absolute sucker for the movie pairings of Errol Flynn of Olivia de Havilland for I know of their real life affection for one another. They remain my favorite so it was a pleasure to put this video together.

Second video dedicated to the classic adventure series is up in my YouTube channel! This time we get to talk about the movie THE PRISONER OF ZENDA (1937) starring Ronald Colman, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., David Niven or Mary Astor. Based on Anthony Hope’s novel, it has been adapted for the big screen many times but, in my opinion, this is the definitive version. We get also to pay tribute to the fantastic work of cinematographer James Wong Howe. Will you miss it?

First video of the series devoted to classics of the adventure genre is UP! It is dedicated first to my grandmother who loved the genre and who would have turned 100 years old this April and to BEAU GESTE (1939), one of her favorites. In the video we will talk more in-depth about the work of its director William A. Wellman, the superb performance of Brian Donlevy and what makes this remake special ✨What’s your favorite classic adventure movie from the 30s? Watch here: https://youtu.be/YGp4cR888hg

New video up in my YouTube channel dedicated to my top 7 classic romantic movies set in Paris 💖I know that now we can’t and it is not advisable to travel but we’ll always have Paris through movies, some of them truly beautiful ones. I also touch a bit upon the French capital’s importance in cinema which is a topic I will return to in future videos. I wish you all a happy Easter and a fantastic month of April 💐

“I loved Fred so, and I mean that in the nicest, warmest way: I had such affection for him artistically. I think that experience with Fred was a divine blessing. It blessed me, I know, and I don’t think blessings are one sided” - Ginger Rogers
