It really was....An Affair to Remember

Content sigh......


This is Cary Grant at his ultimate best. Along with the beautiful and talented Deborah Kerr

That in itself should entice you to watch this wonderful movie.

We find Nickie Ferrante (Grant), an eligible bachelor that the rest of the world watches as he finally decides to settle down with a very rich woman. But on the boat trip back from Europe to New York, he meets Terry Mckay (Kerr)--who incidentally is ALSO engaged---and without knowing what's happened to them, they fall in love. They have some precious moments together that will make you cry, laugh, or smile contentedly. Grant never ceases to be his charming and smooth self. The story follows the hardships and trials they have to go through in order to be together. It is a story that will give you ever range of emotion, and leave you feeling good inside.

My (Audrey) favorite time to watch this movie is Valentine's Day. Ever since I was young, my family would watch it. It's just a wonderful movie that can please those of us who are still searching for our significant other. I introduced Erika to this movie last Valentine's Day, and let's just say she was converted. :) It's one that both husband AND wife can enjoy. Good humor, tender moments, just enough romance, and heart jerking moments.

I give my FULL petition to you to watch this movie. It isn't known as one of the best romance movies of all time for no reason. :)




P.S. I'm not going to give a full summary, because I can't find one that won't give away things that you shouldn't know before you watch it. So...just go watch the movie.

For the Love of Mary

Another Deanna Durbin classic. If you are looking for a great chick flick, look no further. For The Love of Mary is pack full with Romance.

There's not only one attractive man. There's three. I guarantee you will quickly pick a favorite and cheer him on throughout the whole movie. When I watched this movie with Audge and Whit for the first time we were all cheering for the charismatic David Paxton. You will fall in love with the movie. I guarantee.

It's not only all romance. As the storyline becomes more and more complicated it also becomes more comedic. It also has many great musical scenes including Deanna's stunning performing of Largo Al Factotum from The Barber of Seville.

So now that you know a little bit about it here's an official synopsis.....

Durbin plays a switchboard operator at the White House, whose hiccuping spells throw several incoming special-interest callers into a tizzy. The President himself cures Durbin of her hiccups, thereby becoming entangled with the girl's various romances. She, in turn, finds herself neck-deep in numerous political intrigues

Oh....The Thrill of Romance!

There's nothing like finding a handsome man who sweeps you off your feet.


UNLESS, there's TWO of them. ;)

In this charming film, The Thrill of Romance, swimming beauty Esther Williams plays Cynthia Glen, and finds herself swept up by a rich, handsome businessman. Within 10 minutes of the movie, she's married!! But once he is called away from their HONEYMOON on oh so urgent business, Cynthia is left alone..........on her honeymoon! Who does that!! So, she is forced to find some sort of companionship. She meets a funny opera singer (who is actually a real life opera celebrity) and a charming young man, Major Thomas Milvane (Van Johnson). Tommy is immediately taken with her, but realizes he can't just sweep her off her feet immediately. So the rest of the film shows how their friendship develops and soon turns to love, and how Cynthia has to realized that love and choose IT over her wealthy husband. 


This is easily one of our favorite movies. Van Johnson can just take your heart and melt it in his hands and boyish smile. The comedy and romance fit hand in hand in this movie. AND YOU WILL WANT MORE AND MORE!! 

I have always loved Esther Williams. In my opinion, I think she is one of the most beautiful stars from that time.




 And here is your REAL synopsis:
Cynthia is swept off her feet and marries a rich and very successful business executive, but business affairs make him abandon her during their honeymoon. Cynthia is sad and while he's away, meets the charming war hero, Maj. Milvaine, who is on leave. Sparks fly. Will she choose wealth over love?

Enjoy!

It could have happened to anyone but.....IT HAPPENED TO JANE

Okay. I absolutely love this movie. It Happened to Jane stars Doris Day and Jack Lemmon. I am telling you people, it doesn't get much better than that. Thanks to my Grandma Bunker I was introduced to this spectacular movie.

It has everything a chick flick needs.....

It's funny.

It's adorable.

I guarantee you will fall in love with it. I did.

I'll admit, after borrowing this movie from my grandma I watched it three times in one week. Audrey, Becca, and watched it while camping out to see Jimmer and Jackson rock the Marriott. It made camping bearable. There are many fond memories connected to this movie.

Okay so for all those who are wondering what makes this movie so wonderful, here's a short synopsis of the movie.....

Widowed Jane Osgood (Doris Day) is trying to support her family of two young children by starting a lobster mail order business. Things for her business start off badly when a shipment perishes due to the operation of

the Eastern & Portland Railroad, newly acquired by penny-pinching Harry Foster Malone (Ernie Kovacs). When the E&P fails to compensate Jane adequately for their error, Jane gets into a David versus Goliath battle with the powerful Malone, who she deems the meanest man in the world. Both Jane and Malone will do whatever they can to beat the other. Meanwhile after Jane's story reaches national attention, New York based reporter Larry Hall, is placed in Cape Anne to cover the story, and falls for Jane. This move does not sit well with George Denham (Jack Lemmon), who is Jane's childhood friend, lawyer and wannabe suitor

If you need a good laugh, or a great chick flick this movie will not disappoint. It is terrific. And I would definitely say that it is a must see movie.

I think..I think....There's Something in the Wind....

Okay friends, new movie.

Deanna Durbin. Need I say more?

The beautiful singing sensation hits us AGAIN with a classic, comedy, romance. And it's a winner.

In Something in the Wind, Deanna plays the part of a talented young radio host, Mary Collins, and suddenly gets tied into a crazy ordeal with a rich family (due to her aging aunt who has taken care of her). She uses her charm, talent, and never-ending wit to get the man, the job, and EVERYTHING ELSE.

Plus, her outfits are UNREAL in this movie. Check it OUT.

This is the beloved MAN TRAP.

There is also GREAT music in this movie. Songs like, Something in the Wind, Gotta Keep Your Baby Lookin Right, I Love a Mystery, The Turntable Song, Happy Go Lucky and Free.
They are absolutely astounding. Her voice is so versatile.

Our (Erika and I) favorite quotes:

"Just give me a minute, I gotta get out of this man trap."

"That's only a sample of the work done on this machine."

"Wait, what about Clarissa? She's a great girl ya know." "If you help me, I'll give her to you for a wedding present, okay Charlie?" (They are both drunk)

"Donald, are you trying to make love to me?" "No!...Well..."

"And well Mary, you're very attractive." "I wouldn't know. Personally, I've never appealed to myself in that way."

"Hello...Donsy Wonsy."


As you can see, this is a great movie already. I suggest you watch the FULL movie on youtube. :)

Here is the trailer, to entice you more.

The name's Steele....Remington Steele

Before Pierce Brosnan was James Bond he was Remington Steele. Enough Said. You must watch this show.

How can you resist a man that dresses to the T, has an accent, stops the bad guys, KNOWS old movies like the back of his hand, and is one of the most charming, good-looking men of all history? Wo. I don't think you can. No one can do it like Remington.

Not to mention Laura Holt. The woman who can run in heels like there's no tomorrow. The woman who can remember everything to the last detail. And also has captured the heart of her mysterious boss. Lucky woman.

Let's just say Erika and Audrey have been hit. By the "Steele" blue eyes of a mysterious man.

Ann Marie is....THAT GIRL!

Okay. That Girl. My favorite t.v. show of all time.

That Girl is a t.v. series from the late 1960s. I was first introduced to That Girl when I was fifteen. My Grandma Bunker gave all my girl cousins the first season for Christmas. From the very first pilot episode my mom and I loved it. We had to limit how much we could watch in one day, so that we would not watch all of season one in one day. Immediately after watching the first couple of episodes in season one we ordered season two. We eventually bought all five seasons. It is absolutely my favorite show. I would definitely recommend it.

So just so you know what this show is all about I will now give you some basic information about the series.......

That Girl stars Marlo Thomas as Ann Marie. Ann Marie has recently left her home in Brewster, New York and traveled to the big city where she struggles to become an actress. Shortly after arriving in New York city she meets Newsview Magazine writer Donald Hollinger, played by Ted Bessel, who becomes her steady boyfriend throughout the series. With her boyfriend and overprotective father close by That Girl follows the funny, sticky situations that Ann Marie always seems to find herself in.

So there you have it folks. A quick little synopsis of That Girl. It's definitely worth seeing!
