Reblogged this on Belinda O and commented:
As some of you know, my classic movie reviews can now be found on their own site, “Classic for a Reason.” Here’s the latest review from that site, the Academy Award and Cannes Film Festival Best Picture of that year, “The Lost Weekend.” I hope all you classic movie fans will follow me on that site! The reviews will continue on their usual schedule, the first, third and fifth Tuesday of the month (yes, I know it’s Monday, there’s a method to my madness).
