Article of the week is from : Blamemameblog: Notorious Landlady(1962). Craig says: Every time I watch a movie like the one I did tonight, 1962's The Notorious Landlady, and I enjoy it so much... I always ask myself, "What if I never discovered this picture?" I say that because I loved this picture so much! From start to finish, it had me hooked. How could you go wrong with a comedy/mystery starring Jack Lemmon, Fred Astaire, and Kim Novak? Please click on link to read Craig's awesome review.

On Emily's blog, Arthur Recreates Scenes From Classic Movies Arthur's mom Emily, posts the cutest photographs of her son, in classic poses from some of her favorite classic movies. All I have to say is OMG, way too cute!
Have a great week at the movies!
Dawn, your previews of coming N&CF attractions are always fun and enjoyable. I'm especially pleased to see spotlights on THE NOTORIOUS LANDLADY (Kim Novak is a better comedienne than she gets credit for, in my opinion), as well as Goldie Hawn, one of Team Bartilucci's favorites! On a related note, you might be interested in taking another look at Team B's July post about Paranoia Flicks, as we spent quite a bit of time on the delightful Goldie in FOUL PLAY:
