Father's Day: Classic Movie Dads

As it is Father's Day I hope all of you out there are spending some quality time with the wonderful Dads in your lives.  I thought I would share a few of my favorite classic movie Dads with you today.

Life with Father is such a brilliant little film.  William Powell is so fantastic in it as the red-headed, head (hehe) of his red-headed family.

How could I leave out Andy Griffith?  He is probably my favorite Dad of the bunch.

I love Spencer Tracy as the harried Father of the bride.  Too great.

 I adore James Steward's true to life portrayal of a struggling Dad in It's A Wonderful Life.

 In Penny Serenade Cary Grant fights for custody of their (with Irene Dunn) adopted daughter in an emotional court-room scene that always brings tears to my eyes.

Today I am with my amazing husband and kids in Carlsbad.  My kids couldn't have a better father.  I truly can't say enough about his dedication to our children.
Tonight I get to celebrate with my own wonderful Dad.
Happy Father's Day to all the fantastic Dads in our lives!  

Film Inspiration: To Catch A Thief

I have always thought that the film, To Catch A Thief is one of the most stylish movies of all time.  First of all, you just can't beat Cary Grant and Grace Kelly for sophistication and beauty.  Add in a little Hitchcock glamour and you've got yourself something to look at.  I always want to watch this movie when I am thinking about summer and vacationing in a warm climate.  How about the French Riviera?  Hope these images inspire you too!

Kelly: "Leg or a breast?"  Grant: "you pick."

I love this pink dress, not to mention the view.

Only Grant could get away with stripes with a polka-dot scarf.

This is not Kelly, it is french actress Brigitte Auber.  Her swimsuit is just fantastic.  Oh, and Grant is in the picture so all the better.
