    ...I recall that when I married my wife, together with dishes and books she brought a couple of his records, in the accordion style, and I remember one song quite well. But I didn't know he was prolific. I checked the amazon, and they have at least five of his recordings, so I will order some.

    Thanks for the reminder...

      Seems the all tackled the "chansonette française" in their times. Rick Springfield didn't invent nothing...

      If ever you have trouble getting some records let me know I can help you.

      Films you have to absolutely see if you love french cinema:

      Le Salaire de la peur
      Cyrano de Bergerac (with Gérard Depardieu)
      Les quatres saisons d'Espigoule (best film I saw last year)
      Les gens du marais(with Michel Serrault)

        You realize I had to translate the titles first... my French is almost as good as my Chinese...

        Anyway, I know the first two quite well, but not the 3 and 4. The "Wages..." I recall seeing in 1954, when we just got the TV, and everyone around talked about it, I just remembered the explosions on a tiny, 6" screen... Many years later I fell in love with it.

        BTW, young Depardieu plays an episode in the "Killer" with Gabin. He is quite charming there, and not yet fat at all.

        We also suddenly saw him in one of the recent Russian films, where he plays - you probably guessed it - a Frenchman visiting Russia.

        One of his best performances was I think in "Tous les matins du monde" - but of course having de Sainte Colombe's music added to his charm.

        What films with Gérard Philipe do you recommend? I felt like revisiting his works, but found none locally, so need to search wider.
