For those of you who grew up reading the Nancy Drew mystery books, there’s good news for you this month! On Monday, June 27 the Turner Classic Movies channel will be showing all four of the Nancy Drew mystery movies that star Bonita Granville. I have seen them all a couple of times but I still plan on watching all four of them again. I think they have the same feeling\/spirit as the books. Bonita Granville IS Nancy Drew!<\/p>\n
Also, as much as I love Raymond Burr’s Perry Mason – there is another actor who was cast as Perry several times. This month, there are three Perry Mason movies that star Warren William as Perry. I really like Warren William but let’s face it, Raymond Burr IS Perry! William puts quite a different spin on Perry… (All three movies will be shown on Saturday mornings — the 11th, 18th, and 25th.)<\/p>\n
