Dorothy McGuire was one of those Hollywood actresses who was more known for her acting abilities than her looks. She was very attractive, though, even beautiful, with her beauty being more than skin-deep. She had intelligence, integrity, serenity and grace. She also displayed a shyness and vulnerability, and I think there was something sad about her demeanour. Not so surprisingly she was suited to play dramatic and complex roles, later in her career she portrayed mothers often.

Spring is on its way soon, but it's still winter and March can be unpredictable weather-wise. Although there is little chance of snow falling where I live in Spain (close to Valencia) and the weather forecast seems to point towards summery temperatures in the coming week and beyond, I thought it would be nice to list some of my favourite films set (partly or entirely) in wintertime (with snow falling). I came up with the idea for this post because of the list challenge on Letterboxd (here). Since I would like to increase my additional posts on the blog in 2023 (this year being the 5th anniversary of my blog) and a list post is a fairly easy thing to put together, I thought I might join the fun.
