It's hard to believe Gilmore Girls is turning twenty-five this year. The show is going strong on Netflix and just recently appeared on Hulu as well, plus people are still asking for a second reunion show nine years and counting following 2016's A Year In the Life. It's pretty safe to say Stars Hollow isn't going … Continue reading Fifteen “Gilmore Girls” Songs
Spies Among Us
Miss Day is back... Doris Day didn't spend her entire career at Warner Bros. She also made a few movies at MGM, and one of them was 1966's The Glass Bottom Boat.

Well, unique to Doris Day, anyway. The movie opens with Calamity … Continue reading A Woman’s Touch

Back then, I thought it was fun and different--I had been used to musicals like Fiddler On the Roof and Annie, so "Steam Heat" and "Hernando's Hideaway" … Continue reading In Love and War
George’s Final Days
It's Mr. Hudson! Doris Day and Rock Hudson are a perennially favorite screen team. They only made three movies together, but they're all memorable and fun. The last of them was 1964's Send Me No Flowers, a tale of hypochondria, hysteria, and hilarity. George (Rock Hudson) has it tough. He may live in a perfect house with … Continue reading George’s Final Days
