Gold Diggers of 1933 - April's movie suggestion
Plus Joan Blondell's Sunday Night Special recipe
I am going to get this outfit when I win the lottery…
If you have never seen a Busby Berkley routine, Gold Diggers of 1933 is a perfect place to start…
Honestly, this film is an absolute delight. Take 97 minutes out of your busy schedule, plump up the sofa cushions, put your phone in another room, gather your salty snacks and beverages of choice and indulge yourself in the splendour of it all.
The girls are sassy
the outfits are classy
and there are some wonderful moments of weirdness
The movie is available to stream for free via the Internet Archive - HURRAH!
You can watch this movie anytime of course, but a Sunday night would be perfect because our recipe of the month is called
Joan Blondell’s Sunday Night Special
It’s a tasty little treat! Here’s how mine turned out
and here’s the recipe.
If you rustle this up, do send me a photo…

Did you watch The Poseidon Adventure in March? Let me know if the comments what you thought of the film if you managed to squeeze it in.
We had an absolute HOOT at the live watch party. Here are a few of my favourite moments…
Favourite quote of the movie?
Hahahah - it was all a huge amount of fun.
Star-spangled recipe books!
My books are available worldwide via Amazon (switch to your own country for the correct pricing)
or via my Etsy shop (these will come directly from me and can be signed if you wish) - my 1933 cocktail book facsimile is only available from here.
Please note, if you would like to buy the cocktail book and one of my other books at the same time, get in touch as I can send it in the same package without you having to pay extra postage.
"Fanny" is Faneul H. Peabody, just the kind of man I've been looking for, lots of money and no resistance.
I love this post another great movie to explore :) and actually im a big fan of Internet Archive, but did not explore yet the film side! But for cookbooks - that’s such a gem! especially as i’m in Europe, old US published cookbooks are almost impossible to source / at reasonable price.
