Re: Has ever one of you on this board heard of Julien Duvivier...

Patrick, I don't remember Don Camillo. The only film by Julien Duvivier that I remember for sure is "Le Diable et les dix commandements", and that, of course, was an incredible film. I might have seen others in my youth, but not sure at the moment.

Fernandel was an "approved" actor with the Soviet authorities (I guess because he liked showing the capitalist world in not too pretty a light), so many of his films were allowed into the country, and we were fortunate enough to get familiar with that wonderful actor.

He is still very respected in Russia, and just a few weeks back they had a nice program on him on the Russian TV that people can receive here via the sat, so we were given a tape.

Imagine - the Russians still have programs (and more than one) that deal with great classical films!

What nerve!
