Home for the Holidays: Meet Me in St. Louis (1944)

Originally published May 6th, 2013 Meet Me in St. Louis came highly recommended due to its place as a musical classic, and because it’s got the downright angelic Margaret O’Brien who I praised heavily...

Mondays with Hayley Mills: Summer Magic (1963)

25 Days of Christmas: O. Henry’s Full House (1952)

Originally published December 2nd, 2011 This is an odd one to group with Marilyn movies as she’s literally in it for a minute (I’d say less but I didn’t time it).  O. Henry’s Full House an anthology...

25 Days of Christmas: Little Women (1933)

The last in my series of reviews on the three adaptations of Little Women is the 1933 George Cukor version.  This one is widely considered the de facto interpretation of Louisa May Alcott’s novel, and...
