The beautifully nostalgic and nostalgically beautiful art print shown here is available in several different sizes. The one above is 12 in x 36 in, but it’s also available in a larger size (14 in x 38 in).

The print’s available unframed or framed – with a choice of dark frame or light frame. I honestly can’t make up my mind which one I like the best.  All I know is either one would be a great addition to any room in the house.

One of the reasons I’m not totally thrilled with the thought of doing movie or dvd reviews is this simple fact: What one person loves, the next may despise and what one person loathes, the next may want to see 101 times! However, having said that, I feel pretty comfortable in saying that Mogambo is one of the worst movies ever.

It floored me just how bad it was because it actually stars three of the greatest stars of all time: Clark Gable, Grace Kelly, and the ridiculously gorgeous Ava Gardner. How could it possibly miss??? Well, watch and see!

Actually, Mogambo is one of those movies that’s so bad you kind of enjoy it in spite of yourself. Gable, Gardner, and Kelly seemed to be just trying to get through the whole thing. A few times it looked like they were as horrified by the lines they were saying as I was the lines I was hearing.

While I don’t care much (obviously, huh?!) for the movie, the movie poster is awesome!  Movie posters from the Golden Age of Hollywood are an art form, themselves, and I can never get enough of them. The fonts, the pictures, the exclamation marks (there are always, always lots of them)… they’re just classic.  Filmed on safari in Africa!  Mighty! The Battle of the Sexes!  The Battle of the Gorillas!

Mighty?!?!

See? Classic.

Obviously, I’m completely obsessed with the Golden Age of Hollywood, its legendary stars, movies, television classics and yet even I’m amazed at how popular and beloved Marilyn Monroe remains.  The same can, of course, be said about Audrey Hepburn, Elvis, and James Dean.  These four have some of the most loyal fans the world has ever known!

Add to that the fact that even people who are younger than 30 continue to fall under the spell of these stars.  How could you not?!

TV Land Announces a Mary Tyler Moore Reunion on Hot in Cleveland!

TV Legends Moore, Harper, Leachman, and White Together Again

by Joi

As someone who never missed an episode of the Mary Tyler Moore Show (or its hilarious spinoff, Rhoda), this is news I’m over-the-moon excited about. TV Land has a reunion planned for some of our favorite stars from these ground-breaking sitcoms.  Hot in Cleveland

Suffice to say, I can’t wait!

The ladies of “Hot in Cleveland” will soon be getting some special visitors in town as Mary Tyler Moore, Valerie Harper and Cloris Leachman reunite with their co-star of “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” Betty White. In the episode, Elka (Betty White) and Mamie Sue (Georgia Engel) decide to get their bowling team back together, aptly named GLOB: the Gorgeous Ladies of Bowling. The team, which includes Elka, Mamie Sue, Diane (Moore), Peg (Leachman) and Angie (Harper), had a falling out decades ago after their championship season went to their heads. This is the first time in over 30 years that the five former castmates will be reunited on the sitcom stage. Mary Tyler Moore previously appeared on “Hot in Cleveland” as Elka’s cellmate in a season two episode.

Shows like ‘Hot in Cleveland,’ which stars four women, would not be here today without ‘The Mary Tyler Moore Show’ and its incredible female-led cast,” said Larry W. Jones, President, TV Land. “Mary, Valerie, Cloris, Georgia and of course our Betty were all pioneers for women in television.”

TV Land’s hit sitcom “Hot in Cleveland” returns for its summer season with a LIVE episode on Wednesday, June 19 at 10pm ET. The west coast will receive the live-to-tape version three hours later at 10pm PT. The series, which was just picked up for a fifth season, stars television favorites Valerie Bertinelli (“One Day at a Time,”), Jane Leeves (“Frasier”), Wendie Malick (“Just Shoot Me!”) and Betty White (“The Golden Girls”).

“The Mary Tyler Moore Show” centered around Mary Richards (Mary Tyler Moore), an ambitious, young and single assistant producer, and her career at the fictional WJM-TV News. With her best friend Rhoda Morgenstern (Valerie Harper) and resident busy-body Phyllis Lindstrom (Cloris Leachman), Mary tackled the stereotypes of being an independent working woman in what was typically a “man’s world.” The show also starred Ed Asner as Mary’s tough-love boss, station producer Lou Grant, Gavin MacLeod as cynical head news writer Murray Slaughter, and Ted Knight as the dim-witted anchorman Ted Baxter. Moore’s company, MTM Enterprises, produced the series for CBS.

“Hot in Cleveland” is executive produced by Emmy® Award-winner Sean Hayes (“Will and Grace”) and Todd Milliner of Hazy Mills Productions (“Grimm”) and is helmed by Emmy® Award-winning Suzanne Martin (“Frasier,” “Ellen”) who serves as executive producer, show runner and head writer. Lynda Obst also serves as executive producer, and Larry W. Jones and Keith Cox are executive producers for TV Land. “Hot in Cleveland” is currently seen around the world in over 190 countries.

The Philadelphia Story, Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, James Stewart, 1940

The Philadelphia…
Buy This at Allposters.com

Three of the greatest stars of all time shared the screen in The Philadelphia Story (1940): Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, and James Stewart.

Beautiful Katharine Hepburn (in one of my favorite roles she ever played) stars as the spoiled and snobby socialite Tracy Lord in this fun screen adaptation of The Philadelphia Story.  Grant, Hepburn, and Stewart team up for one of cinema’s first ever rom coms… before they even knew what rom coms were!

Movie Synopsis from Amazon: Applying her impossibly high ideals to everyone but herself, Tracy(Katharine Hepburn) is about to marry a stuffy executive when her congenial ex-husband (Cary Grant), arrives to protect his former father-in-law from a potentially scandalous tabloid exposé. In an Oscar-winning role, James Stewart is the scandal reporter who falls for Tracy as her wedding day arrives, throwing her into a dizzying state of premarital jitters. Who will join Tracy at the altar? Snappy dialogue flows like sparkling wine under the sophisticated direction of George Cukor in this film that turned the tide of Hepburn’s career from “box-office poison” to glamorous Hollywood star.  -Jeff Shannon

You can find a special The Philadelphia Story (Two-Disc Special Edition) on Amazon.  Click the picture above for a closer look at the adorable movie poster.

The Cincinnati Kid, 1965

Who would ever forget Steve McQueen and his portrayal as “The Cincinnati Kid”? He was one of the highest paid movie actors in Hollywood during his time. The Cincinnati Kid is a 1965 classic poker movie about a young card player who dreams to win the title of being the best poker player of all time. McQueen was the perfect icon of the American dream. He started as a poor lad and rose to become one of the most popular movie stars in the world. He was an avid car and motorcycle racer.

The Cincinnati Kid
McQueen’s portrayal as the Cincinnati Kid became one of his most iconic moments. There are people who play the actual game or in websites such as www.binguez.es; to become a better poker player. This is why many are still aspiring to be as good as what McQueen in his legendary movie. The set-up of the movie is what people usually imagined of a poker game—a cool hobby surrounded with a smoky atmosphere and a crowd. As “The Kid” seeks to establish a reputation as the best poker player in the world, his quest leads him to challenging “The Man.” Their face-off culminates a climatic poker game between the two players.

The players played {Five Card Stud}. The game begins with each player being dealt with one card face down, this will be followed with another card facing up. During a bring-in, the player with the lowest card facing up is required to pay the “bring-in” (forced bet). If both players have equally ranked low cards, suit rankings will be used to break the tie. If there is no bring-in, the first betting round will begin with the player showing the highest-ranking upcard. In case of having equally ranked cards, instead of using the suit of the card, the player first in clockwise rotation from the dealer will be the one to act first.

Because of his effective portrayal as a poker player in {The Cincinnati Kid}, Steve McQueen became a credible persona, even with his roles in other movies. He was named as the King of Cool for nothing. He was known for his rugged good looks and tough guy personality.

The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, The Blob, Bullitt, The Towering Inferno, and Papillon are just some of McQueen’s famous films. He also managed to become the most in demand actor, enabling him to ask for high salaries for every project, in spite of him being combative with other producers and directors.

But every great icon has his limitation. McQueen was diagnosed with cancer. A tumor in his right lung was shown in an x-ray that was taken in the latter part 1979. This type of cancer stemmed from exposure to asbestos. He had sought for several alternative therapies for this condition and undergone a surgery to remove several tumors in his lungs. After fighting a good battle with cancer, he eventually became weak and died on November 7, 1980.
