Well yet again we have a COVID Christmas.
It’s that time of year when we all want to be giving, loving,caring, hopeful, happy people. I don’t know about you but I get a little fed up with violence in the movies. Especially at Christmas. When you watch a classic old Christmas movie and I mean the real classics of the 30s, 40s and 50s you know you’re going to get class, style, humour, and oodles of hope, love and heaps of old time magic.…

Greer Garson and Walter Pigeon
Greer Garson and Walter Pigeon
Who could forget Mrs Miniver and her stoic optimism in the face of imminent danger? She alone takes down a German soldier stealing from her kitchen during the raids of WW11. The scene is, however, not one of good verses evil but of a shared need for empathy and understanding because of Garson’s tender handling of the situation. To all her roles Garson brought a humility and deep sense of…

We are in desperate times. It’s the sad truth. Yet we all live in hope and that is what makes us human. We must more than ever love our fellow beings and be kind to each other even though we cannot be as close as we would like.

Divine Screen Teams: Liz Taylor And Monty Clift.
Liz Taylor and Montgomery Clift were hailed as one of the most beautiful onscreen couples ever. They remained firm friends throughout their lives but never took their friendship to the next level.

Vintage Black Hollywood Stars
Vintage Black Hollywood Stars
There were just as many black stars in Hollywood as there were white. It didn’t matter how talented they were, however, as most were relegated to the roles of house servants, baggage handlers, valets, porters, criminals or all singing all dancing sidekicks. Their roles were generally one dimensional and did little to show off the talent of the actor.
When Hattie McDaniel became the first…

Albertha From Alberta
A Christmas story
Albertha from Alberta .
Albertha walked briskly through the thickening snow. Icicles hung from the mountain tops like fine lace on a white wedding gown.

Her mother was sick with a virus and was running a terrible fever.…

Judy Garland
So much as been written on the life of Judy Garland that there seems to be little more one can add. Her childhood, her career, her marriages, were all scrutinised by the press every minute of every waking day but how many have written of her warmth, her generosity, her vulnerability and her vitality outside of her inner circle. It seems that there were many who put her down at a time when she…

Christmas films in the forties and fifties
Christmas films in the forties and fifties reflected what was happening in the world at the time much like those of today. In the forties there was a war going on and many Hollywood films were centred around soldiers going to war, coming home or on families waiting for news of loved ones. Spies were also a very big storyline for Hollywood writers. Many stars were involved in selling war…

Elusive Stars and Starlets of the 30s
Elusive Stars and Starlets of the 30s
I’ve called these starlets elusive because they were not in the mainstream and,even though some were well known in their day and made some very famous films, were not widely remembered by the general public beyond their era. Some had very short careers and went on to lead normal everyday lives, some died young and some turned to character roles becoming secondary to the leads and sometimes…
