The Charismatic Christopher Plummer Blogathon has arrived!

From the amount of participants that we have for this Blogathon, it is very clear that the late, great Christopher Plummer may be gone, but not forgotten. We have a variety of films that have been and will be covered this weekend. So without further chatter from me, let us get right to the entries.

Then Silver Screenings explores Plummer’s career during the 1970s, with his performance in International Velvet.
