I will be taking a short break from the blog — about two weeks, returning to our regularly scheduled programming on April 2.

Today marks four years since I began my blog. It is also Cary Grant’s birthday (not a coincidence — he was my favorite actor long before the blog began). And so begins my fifth year of sharing the classic film love! It’s hard to believe I’ve been at this four years already… almost 1,500 days!… Read More TMP celebrates four years!
