It’s time, y’all…woo hoo! Three days of celebrating Betty Grable, her many talents, her films, and the fun she brought to so many people. Who’s ready for this?
As always, if anyone would like to join us, please feel free to do so (here are the rules). Just leave me a comment either here on the announcement post and you’re in.
As for the rest of you, bloggers and readers alike, let’s get going. We all know the drill–please check back here over the next few days because I’ll be updating this post, and then on Tuesday we’ll have a little wrapup.
And now off we go…
Andrew from The Stop Button gets us started with his review of 1941’s A Yank In the R.A.F..
Anyone hungry? Samantha at Musings of A Classic Film Addict brings us one of Betty’s recipes.
Rachel from Hamlette’s Soliloquy shows us How To Marry A Millionaire.
Ruth from Silver Screenings tells us about the time Betty made a biopic with her review of The Dolly Sisters.
Terence from A Shroud of Thoughts brings his thoughts about one of Betty’s dramatic films, 1941’s I Wake Up Screaming.
Betty must have hit the snooze button, because she’s screaming twice this weekend. Karen from Shadows and Satin also has thoughts about I Wake Up Screaming.
Le from Crítica Retrô brings us along for 1942’s Springtime In the Rockies.
Here’s my review of Betty’s 1944 film, Pin Up Girl.
J-Dub from Dubsism tackles Betty’s 1939 film, The Day the Bookies Wept.
Kayla from Whimsically Classic talks about Betty playing the ponies with a look at the I Love Lucy episode, “Lucy Wins A Racehorse.”
Virginie from The Wonderful World of Cinema brings us her review of the 1939 four-reeler, Million Dollar Legs.
Keep ’em coming, all! Hope you have a great weekend, and see you on Tuesday for that wrapup…
