If you happen to be in London in the near future, may I recommend you check out The National Gallery; the gallery’s exhibit, Glamour of the Gods:Hollywood Portraits (http://www.npg.org.uk/glamour/) is running from 7 July – 23 October and will feature 70 photographs from stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age (1920-1960).
The exhibit features photographs from the John Kobal Foundation archive and produced in association with the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.
What can I say I like numbers that round off to 5′s and 10′s and I LOVE London. So in “honor” of my forthcoming trip to the British capital, I have put together 15 of my favorite films set in London. Please note I am not saying these are the BEST films set in London; they just happen to be my favorite ones.
For a list of more films set in and around London, check out the Wikipedia entry.
What are some of yours?
A highlight of the summer museum season HAS to be the exhibit that is coming soon to the V&A Museum in London. The name of the exhibit is entitled “Grace Kelly: Style Icon.” There will be clothing and other artifacts from her fantastic (but all too short) film career.
There has been a great deal of buzz about this exhibit including a piece in The New York Times as well as the cover story of this May’s Vanity Fair.
And as luck would have it I am traveling to London next month to see this exhibit. I will take as many photos as possible and be sure to post them here on iluvcinema!
