Hi Paul! I have the book The Ministry of Fear by Graham Green with me, so I’d like to write about the cinematrography adaptation Ministry of Fear (Fritz Lang, 1944) and maybe compare it with the novel! Here is the URL to my blog: https://thewonderfulworldofcinema.wordpress.com/
And congrats once again on hosting your first blogathon! Hope it’s a success. 🙂

Hi Paul, I haven’t participated in a blogathon in awhile, and this one looks very intriguing with some interesting and varied selections. If there’s room for one more, I’d like to write about The House of the Seven Gables (1940). I’m at Films From Beyond the Time Barrier, https://www.filmsfrombeyond.com/ Cheers!

Dear Paul,
Congratulations on hosting your first blogathon! This is a great topic. Good luck! I know it will be very successful. I would like to join with an article about “Cyrano de Bergerac” from 1950. Is that appropriate?
Yours Hopefully,
Tiffany Brannan

Paul, I was wondering if I could change my topic from Dragonwyck to Scarlet Street. I know, I know, that classic literature thing is a bit of a stretch here though the movie, just like the 1931 French version, is based on a book by Georges de La Fouchardière.
If you don’t accept it, that’s fine too. 🙂 Your call.

Hi Margot! I’m happy to change it especially if you feel particularly enthusiastic about Scarlet Street and I’m sure you’re justification for the novel would convince readers regarding the blogathon. Actually it’s closer than I thought! One month away! I love Scarlet Street so definitely looking forward to it. Will make the necessary changes to the roster!

Dear Paul,
The blogathon looks great so far! Congratulations! I know that today is the last day of the blogathon, but is it too late to change my topic? I started watching “Cyrano de Bergerac” last night, but I just wasn’t in the mood, so I stopped it after five minutes. However, I still want to participate in your blogathon, since it’s a great subject. Would it be alright if I wrote an overview of how the Code influenced movies based on classic literature?
Yours Hopefully,
Tiffany Brannan
