Today, Summer Under the Stars on TCM features Katharine Hepburn–all day, all night, hooray! It would be wise to set your DVR to record the entire day or, better yet, just cancel any plans you may have. Get some snacks and a blanket and just get comfortable in front of the television. It’s no mystery…
As I mentioned yesterday, today’s Therapy Thursday post will showcase Suddenly, Last Summer, with Katharine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor. Oddly, I haven’t been able to come up with a good topic for this series in weeks upon weeks … I just had nothing. Then, yesterday, doing a brief tribute to Elizabeth Taylor, this movie came to…
Few actors (at least in my mind) have ever been able to match the comedic physical prowess of the former Archibald Leach. When the athletic young Brit rechristened himself as the smooth, charming Cary Grant, he balanced his new romantic persona with a seemingly endless streak of youthful exuberance that shone through even the…
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…

It has been a very busy two weeks around these parts, and my attention to my beloved classics has fallen by the wayside (though blogging itself has not; I’ve been helping with a blogging project for my alma mater’s historic alumnae association, and you can see the fruits of that labor here). Can I just…
The African Queen Airing 10PM EST When you combine arguably the best actor and the best actress that filmdom has ever seen in one movie, you’ve got, arguably, one of the best movies of all time.
