Thirty Day Princess, by Albert W. Vogt III
Another Cary Grant film review, and another fun movie-watching experience. I have to be careful, though, as there are a dangerously low number of his films left for me to discuss. This is only my way of saying, once again, how much I appreciate his work. I do not look at it the same way…
7500, by Albert W. Vogt III
