Classic Hollywood Posts and Reviews

Old Hollywood sign in black and white


If you didn't know it before, you're well aware of it now; I love old Hollywood. While I don't always review the movies I watch, sometimes I will take the time if a movie had a truly strong impact on me or I participated in a blogathon. If a film is historic in any way (meaning it's a 1940s film but the era in the film is at least 30 years older), then I will also go out of my way to review it. Or if I love the leading lady or man of the film. If I watch a Marlon Brando film then I'm most likely going to blog about it.

This list is organized by actor and actress so you may find a movie mentioned more than once. You will also find posts about the actors themselves when I'm of a mind to write one. Check out Orson Welles. He's unique because I also discuss his radio plays, of which he performed many dozen.
