Patrick,I admit that most of my opinion of Chevalier was formed from his roles in English- which is not entirely fair, and his singing style which I just can't tolerate***. Also, I have a very low tolerance for musicals generally. Of course, he was also (unfairly to the degree) denounced in the US as a Nazi collaborator and I think I was affected by this long-standing judgment.
*** Pour des chansons populaires francaises, donnez-moi le Edith Piaff chaque fois!
Sincerement, je souhaite que j'aie compris la source de critique obsedante americaine etrange de tout francais. Sommes-nous reelement trop semblables?
I have seen some of Chevaliers's earlier work and I think that I just don't care for his very broad music hall style, which is exaggerated for the stage and seems old-fashioned rather than timeless.
As it's you saying it, I will take another look- and Lubitsch is always intriguing.
Salut,
Bam
