Hello! I’m Lindsey. Lover of all things film and history. I write about old movies on my wordy blog, The Motion Pictures. Here, I just share the things that I like, mostly films/history/culture/television from the early to mid-20th century. Forever obsessed with Cary Grant, Barbara Stanwyck, Bogie & Baby, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, Alfred Hitchcock and Clara Bow.
