Happy Day Alfie!

Happy B-Day Mr. Hitchcock!

 As quoted by Alfred on the bottom of this blog (and one of my favorites), "For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake."

For Lucy

I remember hearing on the news before going to school. I was in third grade. I should have known I was an oldie film nerd...I was nine and sad hearing that Lucille Ball had died. I still remember the day.

So happy 100 to you Lucy! 

You worked your way to the top and you'll stay there forever.

Breakin The Law

As modern day actors prove, sometimes you get into a little trouble. Our favorite film oldies are no exception. Except back then, you didn't usually become more popular when you where naughty. Let's take a look...
