In the good old summertime Blog Party

blogger

I love the movie reference this blog party has {old readers may remember I did a movie review last year of this film}. Well anyways, I have found a blog party that has a true weakness for me - old movies! I can NOT let a blog party that includes old movies have me not attend. It's just not right. =) 


This week you have a chance to win either Casablanca on DVD or a Bottle-Cap necklace. I'm going for the Casablanca DVD. Why? It has one of my favorite actresses in it - Ingrid Bergman. Enough said.


Let's see here....what are the questions I have to answer? Ah, yes. Here they are.


1. What's your favorite 'old movie' of all time? {Anything before 1970s} - This is a very hard question for me. Why? Most of the movies I watch ARE before the 1970s. ;-) Also, I don't know if I can just pick one movie. I shall name my top three, or so. 


Roman Holiday {1953} (movie review)

It has Audrey Hepburn & Gregory Peck + takes place in Rome, Italy + She's a princess and they can't be together = One fabulous movie that I adore! 

You Can't Take it With You {1938} (movie review)

James Stewart and Jean Arthur are in it + it's directed by Frank Capra + has a great storyline = One darling film! 

Desperate Journey {1942} (movie review)

Steller cast {Errol Flynn, Ronald Reagen, Alan Hale, Ronald Sinclair} + the story has the feeling of a G.A. Henty book + it's a fun & exciting WW2 film = One movie I don't mind watching over and over again. =)

I think I'll stop there. I could mention more..*coughs* "Listen, Darling," "It Happened One Night," "His Girl Friday," "The Amazing Mrs. Holiday," "The Sound of Music," "High Society"....*ends coughing fit*

2. Who is your favorite b&w actor? Oh, dear. I really like the following actors {in no order}. Yes, I said "the following." ;-) Don't you guys know by now that I can never pick just one. Just saying. 

                                         Cary Grant                                       Freddie Bartholomew

                                          Ronald Reagan                       Donald O'Connor

                                          James Stewart                               Gregory Peck

                                         Errol Flynn                                       Gene Kelly

3. Who is your favorite b&w actress? Once again, I have more than one. ;-) But you knew that. 

 
 Audrey Hepburn                                     Grace Kelly

 
Jean Arthur                               Olivia de Havilland 

 
Deanna Durbin                                     Teresa Wright

 
Ingrid Bergman                                           Myrna Loy

4. Why do you love vintage/shabby-chic? You know what? I really don't know why. I just grew up watching old movies and loving their clothes! And the shabby-chic style is just - so me. It's vintage, girly, and if your talking home decor, a touch of country. 

5. What's your favorite era? (1920s, WWII, etc...) It would have to be between the 1940s & 50s. Most of the movies I watch and magazines I own are from the 40s. But the 1950s clothing looks much better on me, as do the early 1960s.
