There are many indelible images in 1951's A Place in the Sun. On a recent viewing, I really noticed what director George Stevens and cinematographer William C. Mellor did with the visuals. This added to the performances makes for a striking viewing experience. And I still can't get over the fact that Elizabeth Taylor is 17 here. Read my thoughts.

Fred Williamson was born March 5, 1938 and turns 83 today. Former football player The Hammer can be seen in M*A*S*H, Black Caesar and From Dusk Till Dawn. My favourite is Three the Hard Way (1974). #botd #otd #fredwilliamson #football #actor #legend #blaxploitation #70s #70smovies

Recently I revisited a novel from my favourite author, F. Scott Fitzgerald. I read it first in my youth and wondered if it would have the same effect on me. My latest article is a look at this book of 1920s café society. Link in bio. #bookstagram #book #booklover #bookcommunity #bookrecommendations #bookreview #fscottfitzgerald #blogger #bloggerstyle

In my monthly look at the oldies, the Drifters are featured. This sometimes overlooked group scored many hits despite an ever-changing line-up. Take a look at their iconic sides and lesser-known beauties.

Harry Belafonte turns 94 today. His 1956 album Calypso was the Number One record in the country for 31 weeks and was the first LP to sell over a million copies. It is one of the first records a serious collector of mid-century vinyl should seek out. #harrybelafonte #botd #otd #calypso #legend #vinylcollection #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #classic #lp #lps #album
