Melville and Gabin
I agree. Jean-Pierre Melville is a terrific director- one of my real favourites. His films noir are all excellent and he worked with most of the great French actors of his day. Alain Delon was one of his best regulars.
The movie I regard as his absolute best has not yet...

Indeed. Mabel Normand of course was the principal love of his life, though Sennett in his relationships never seemed ready or willing or able to progress them. At heart he seemed to prefer the life of a bachelor with his golfing and drinking buddies.

HoosierDaddy you immediately picked up on "The Farmer's Daughter" when Marc Chevalier began this thread. Have you actually seen it? I've hunted high and low for the thing but without success.

I've only just discovered this site and I'm about to go away for 10 days but I'm delighted to know that there are fellow Marjorie Beebe fans out there. I'd love to talk more to you all about her. In fact right now I'm putting together an article on her for a magazine- its...
