  I kind of feel what you are saying, I understand all that, but being part of history, even being completely true to a part of history, doesn't make one significant or pleasant or interesting.

  In addition, French cinema of that time produced some truly great actors. In his case his physical size is commensurate with his presence, I think.

    After reading this post of yours I had to force myself and tried to get back then.
    So with a small effort I could.
    He was just a player at FT wish, having the same love live as he had. AND many could identify themselves in him.
    Just the life between the Pill and AIDS and a touch of grass.
    The lightness of being....

    the French heart because of his brilliantly sensitive turn in "400 Blows."
    In Truffaut's later trilogy, he played an extremely sensitive (not quite Woody Allen-ish), well educated, and yes, self-absorbed character. He did so very well.

      That is true. And yet he still makes movies, but has no real importance today cinama world.
      At least in mine.
      As for the great French actors that was the time before and just after the last war.

      Heck, he wasn't even supposed to be Jean Gabin or dozens of others...

      But we are beating a dead horse. Screw that guy... maybe if he was a tad over 6' things would have been different?

        an outdoor table in a Paris cafe. He had two babes draped over him: so much for your sexual theory. He gesticulated exactly as he does on film: for a moment, I thought I was watching someone do an impersonation. Really.
