Really boring stuff you probably didn't want to know:
- Millie
- 17. More than slightly insane. Also: COLLEGE STUDENT (and English tutor at said college); adorer of all things vintage; a watcher of classic film since the day I was born (1940 "Pride and Prejudice"); and an uncontrollable blogger about the randomest stuff relating to vintageness. Don't make fun of Bobby Darin, Ingrid Bergman, or stupid westerns from the 50's. I will seek revenge. {WHOA! I should probably change this! Just possibly the creepiest profile. EVER! ;-D} By the way, just in case you are reading this from my profile and not my blog, ClassicForever is the main place to find me!
Forever mine....

The hounds of the baskervilles 1939
now that WAS a film.
Love Mr Rathbone,,he knew how to make the character his own
AND he once sat on our dining room table.
(I was not there to witness the event since I think I was about four months old at the time. But it's passed into our family history).
MissMatilda: So right! He is the only Sherlock I will watch!
Gingey (or is it Ginqey? You really need to tell me, I'm not sure because of the underline!!!): He definitely did. He was anything but forgettable!
Shay: I am so intrigued now! Do tell more!
Love Basil Rathbone! He's the definitive Sherlock Holmes to me too. I've been watching a lot of "The Court Jester" lately, because my little nephew loves it. Basil is so great in it!
