101 Dalmatians (1961) I had to rewatch this one, even though it’s pretty iconic. I came to a number of realization watching it again. First, I adore Lucky. He’s funny in that small child, endearing way. Thus, we love him. I won’t go into the plot description, because Cruella de Vil’s villainy is so famous,…
I am so excited to post about one of my absolute favorite Christmas classics: White Christmas. Starring Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye as two former soldiers who met during WWII, this film has everything that makes the classics (and Christmas movies) great–comedy, music, very talented cast, quotable script, misunderstandings, and of course, a happy…
Merry Christmas! In the spirit of the season, True Classics will be doing a number of reviews of some of our favorite Christmas movies. This is not exactly the beginning of that series, but I have to say A Charlie Brown Christmas is still on my list. It’s a great Christmas movie, but that’s another…
Hello, Classic Film World! I apologize for my absence from the blog (and especially to Brandie and Nikki for leaving them to keep things going so swimmingly without help- *pause for a moment of applause*). So, I’m getting back in gear with Therapy Thursday again… and I’m taking it a different direction. Today, I’m doing…

Though not one of the classic film actors we frequently review here at True Classics, he was certainly a gem of acting and films. Many of us…
Where do I begin on Dumbo? It’s difficult to bring myself to write a synopsis, because I feel like it would be a rather superfluous thing to do. I suppose I’ll get straight to talking about its merits. I loved Dumbo as a child. I can’t remember what about it particularly, but I loved it.…
I thought I’d pick things up a bit this week and talk about Holiday with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn. As a quick review, I loved this movie. It’s fun. It’s charming. It’s Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn. I really don’t need to say much more than that, do I? I’d like to look into…
You may have seen my recommendation of The Snake Pit for the Olivia de Havilland edition of the SUtS series. I recommended it, but had not yet seen the film. Part of the joy of the project was getting to see films I hadn’t watched or reviewed, yet, and this was one of them. I…
