Saturday Sinema: The Major And The Minor


Here's one from the great Director Billy Wilder starring Ginger Rogers!!!

From one of Hollywood's most acclaimed auteurs, Billy Wilder (Double Indemnity, Sunset Boulevard), comes the charming comedy classic The Major and the Minor. Legendary actress and dancer Ginger Rogers (Monkey Business) stars as Susan Applegate, a struggling young woman who pretends to be an 11-year old girl in order to buy a half-price train ticket. Fleeing the conductors, she hides in the compartment of Major Philip Kirby (Ray Milland, The Big Clock, The Pyjama Girl Case). The Major believes Susan is a child and takes her under his wing, but when they arrive at the military academy where Kirby teaches, his fiancée (Rita Johnson) grows suspicious of Susan's ruse... Co-written by Wilder and Charles Brackett (Hold Back the Dawn), The Major and the Minor assumes the guise of a light romance narrative in order to cleverly explore themes of identity and deception. Wilder's American debut is presented here for the first time in stunning High Definition, with a selection of illuminating extras.

Thanksgiving Bromance

I Feels For You
Adam Levine & Blake Shelton

Adam Levine has taken his Bromance with Blake Shelton to a whole other level by calling him the "sexiest man alive." 

People Magazine doesn't have a clue as to how hot Blake is according to Adam or they would put him on the cover of said issue (Adam himself is a former holder of the coveted title.)

The Voice coaches clearly have the feels for each other. Check out the photo above for proof.

Since today is Thanksgiving and all that jazz one of the themes of the Holiday is brotherly love. 

Nothing quite says that like a Blake & Adam sandwich. Watch out Gwen Stefani you have competition!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
