Dark and Handsome Meets Dark and Beautiful!

Okay!  Today’s romantic movie couple…Montgomery Clift and Elizabeth Taylor, of course!  It truth…the three movies I’ve seen them together in are NOT typical Marcia favorites!  However…something about them together…I just love them!  There are two clips here…one is a photos/lovely music montage…I love it because it’s so beautiful and they look so wonderful together.  The [...]

Just for Fun….

Just for fun…and without digging through your books…can you tell me (from memory) which of my hero’s has a toothpick as his “tag?”

Mansfield Park-Choose your Fanny and Edmund!

Okay…knowing (as you do, of course) that I am a die-hard Jane Austen fan…I thought it would be fun to give you my take on Mansfield Park 1999 vs. Mansfield Park 2007!    Sadly, the 1999 version incorporated a couple of unnecessary things that played to the masses.  Yet, it still stands as my favorite movie [...]
