Crystal from In the Good Old Days Of Classic Movies has asked me to co-host this blogathon with her. I was delighted to accept her invitation to be co-host. I really hope that you will all be able to join us both as we celebrate the life and career of the hugely talented classic film era actor, Joseph Cotten.
For this blogathon you can write about any of Joseph’s films. You can write about him as an actor. You can write about your favourite Joseph Cotten performances and screen characters. You can write more than one entry if you want to.
We will be accepting two duplicates per screen title, but no more than this as he made so many films, so there is lots for you to choose from.
The blogathon will be held on the 5th, 6th and 7th of September, 2018. There will also be a wrap up post held on the 8th. We picked these dates because September 5th marks the 77th anniversary of the release of Citizen Kane, which is one of Joseph’s most famous films.
I will be hosting on the 5th, and Crystal will be hosting on the 6th and 7th. Let one or both of us know what you would like to write about.
Please check the particiaption list below to see who is writing about what. Please take one of the banners and pop it on your site somewhere to help to promote the event.

Thanks! I had never heard of it either until it showed up on FilmStruck a few months ago. I really enjoyed it, and I was just thinking the other day that I’d like to write about it before it expires on there.

OK, I must be crazy, but I’ll choose The Third Man. It’s my favorite film but it’s daunting to write about such a classic. Usually I stay away from that.

Hello, its that woman again! Just finishing off my post for the Barrymore blogathon when I discovered my choice of post was a remake of an Olivia De Havilland and Joseph Cotten film. So can I change my post to The Screaming Woman instead of The Rockford Files as love to compare the alternate versions of this Ray Bradbury tale… please as will probably forget about it by her birthday blogathon next year!

I’m only just seeing this blogathon, but are you still accepting entries? I just watched Gaslight and was going to review it — you said you accept 2 entries for each film, and I only see one for it. So if it’s cool with you, can I enter it at the last minute?
