My bad!<BR/><BR/>I got it mixed up, 'cause I saw it at almost the same time as THE LAST METRO (Le Dernier métro) maybe 15 years ago. Last Metro was really good - Truffaut directed & Catherine Deneuve co-starred. (Graham rec'd it, and it's available from Netflix under the English title).angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01751466673491487048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-2085047065405321262008-05-01T23:26:00.000-04:002008-05-01T23:26:00.000-04:00I am thrilled, Keith.

I don't know of anything in English that's worth your trouble. He had a bit in the Vie en Rose film, but it was too small a part for him to do any real acting I think. <BR/><BR/>He had announced that he was retiring from acting to pursue his cooking hobby, but I don't know if he was joking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
