For any bloggers interested in participating, here are the rules:
1. Your post must be about a classic film that features a dog in a prominent role or you can profile a famous canine performer such as Skippy (better known as Asta) or Pal (aka Lassie). Animated films are welcomed, as course, as there are a host of fine Disney dog movies.
2. It's a Classic Movie Dogathon and, for this event, we'll define "classic" as a film made before the mid-1980s.
3. The content of your post cannot contain obscene, indecent, or profane materials or links to such materials.
4. Send an e-mail with your film's title and desired posting date (if you have one) to classic.film.tv.cafe@gmail.com by February 14th. Please put "Classic Movie Dogathon" as the title of your e-mail.
5. Only one post will be accepted for each film. So, don't delay if you want to review a popular dog movie. I'll try to accomodate desired posting dates, but can't make any guarantees.
That's it. If you have any questions, please send an e-mail. We're looking forward to a great Dogathon!
If the THIN MAN movies are allowed and they haven't all been snapped up yet, I'd like to pick any one of those! :-)
ReplyDeleteDorian, you have your pick of THIN MAN films...featuring that scene-stealing star Skippy!
ReplyDeleteHey, I'd like to participate with a post about Toby, the ace car salesdog from USED CARS (1980).
DeleteHal, that sounds great! Just send your blog address to classic.film.tv.cafe@gmail.com.
DeleteHello. If I may, I'd like to participate in the Classic Movie Dogathon. I'd like to do my post on The Proud Rebel with Alan Ladd and Olivia de Havilland. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteR.C., THE PROUD REBEL is a nice selection! Please send an e-mail to the Cafe's web address (classic.film.tv.cafe@gmail.com) with your blog's web address.
DeleteYou've got me down! Thanks again for hosting this!
ReplyDeleteRick,
ReplyDeleteGuessing you're doing "Bringing Up Baby" but if not put me down for that. Otherwise I'm sure I can find a good canine classic. : ) Ruff Ruff

Page, you've got BRINGING UP BABY (which puts me in the mood to bury a bone).
DeleteThe Cafe is going to the dogs and I love it! I also think the puppy in the Dogathon picture is adorable.
ReplyDeleteToto, I took the photo of the puppy in the logo and then "painted" the pic digitally. It's the best photo I've ever taken--because of the subject, of course.
DeleteGreat idea! Just emailed you my choice. As a big dog lover, this is right up my alley.
ReplyDeleteRick, I'm definitely going to write an updated version of my 2010 blog post about AFTER THE THIN MAN for Sunday, February 19th, since I thought Asta/Skippy got lots of play in it, including Asta's problems with the Scottie dog making time with Mrs. Asta! :-) Looking forward to the Dogathon!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to participate. Is 101 Dalmations still available, Rick?
ReplyDeleteIf so, sign me up!
Since 101 Dalmations is taken, I've requested The Hound of the Baskervilles, Peter Cushing edition. Waiting to hear. :)
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled upon your site and thought that this was a cute idea.
Although I will not participate in the blog-a-thon myself, I look forward to see what others write about.

Hi! Bette's Classic Movie Blog would love to participate. Would it be ok to do a profile of the Asta character in all the Thin Man movies? Sounds like great fun!
ReplyDeleteBette, TALES OF THE EASILY DISTRACTED is already covering Asta in one of the THIN MAN movies. But there are lots of canine cinema choices and we'd love for you to participate!
ReplyDeleteRick, can you put me down and assign a date for The Voice of Bugle Ann (1936) at Immortal Ephemera. Thanks much, Cliff
