Introduction

1Upon her death at 79 in 2017, Mireille Darc’s biographer Richard Melloul described her on French television (C à vous, 28/08/2017) as a “tour de force in the 1960s – the only woman in a group of macho men”1, and fellow guest Bernard Montiel added that “she was un p’tit mec herself (a little guy)”; although both argued she always maintained her glamour and femininity. Darc’s ability to combine comedy with physical beauty made her an actress adored by the French public and celebrated by fans, critics, and the film industry. Unusual for most actresses, Darc injected glamourous modernity – performing a version of the “liberated woman” – into sexist comedies2.

One of his favorite actors, Michel Serrault, once said: “In every Mocky film there are always at least ten minutes which are absolutely sensational. Some unprecedented, unbelievable ideas grab you, surprise you, move you to tears.” 1

In France, Mocky was an institution. He worked with the best and most popular thespians, and surrounded himself with top-notch collaborators such as Raymond Queneau, Eugen Schüfftan, Maurice Jarre, Marguerite Renoir, among others. After his death, Le Monde dedicated a whole page to him, with a lengthy piece (which suitably labeled him a “cineaste fantasque,” whimsical filmmaker) penned by one of the nation’s most prominent critics, Jean-François Rauger. Yet, to the foreign public, Mocky is a v

Bourvil : son combat, exemplaire, contre la maladie [Photos]

Ce soir, Arte rediffuse à 20h55 "La traversée de Paris", farce noire évoquant l'Occupation. Ce film offrit à Bourvil son premier grand rôle dramatique. Le drame, ce comédien populaire allait le connaître bien trop vite en décédant, en 1970, à l'âge de 53 ans. Histoire de sa bataille exemplaire contre la maladie...

Il était sain. S'entraînait avant le début d'un film comme un athlète japonais. Fut l'un des premiers à "manger bio". Né en 1917, André Raimbourg, dit Bourvil, entendait bien connaître l'an 2000. Pour voir grandir ses fils, Dominique et Philippe dont il était fier. Et vieillir auprès de son épouse, Jeanne. Las... un cancer des os, la maladie de Kahler, faisant son apparition vraisemblablement au milieu des années 1960 se déclare, en 1967, sur le tournage du film "Les cracks". Chutant de vélo, Bourvil décèle un
