Hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addict Question: What is your go-to drink and/or snack while reading? Answer Tea is my go-to reading beverage. It doesn’t matter what the temperature is outside, a hot cup a tea and a good book go perfectly together all year round. As for snacking, well…guilty as charged. It takes […]
Watch on the Rhine is a 1940s propaganda film. You can spin it anyway you like, drama, Bette Davis film, patriotic but in the end its still propaganda to raise spirits during a hard time. Kurt and Sara Muller along with their three children visit Sara’s family who believe she married beneath her class. The […]
It seems that each year, more and more films and television shows are adapted from books and time and time again, I am drawn to them. To embrace this growing fascination I’ve decided to create a monthly post entitled Fiction to Film highlighting books that are hitting the big screen.
