Just a quick word to let you kno...Hello Charles,<br /> Just a quick word to let you know that I was able to attend three of the Duvivier films showing this month at MoMA, LA TETE D'UN HOMME, LA BELLE EQUIPE, and LA BANDERA. Of course LA TETE did not feature Gabin, although I found it more than worth my while, very dark, dynamic, and noir, thanks to its source, Georges Simenon. I was only able to be there for three days, but look for more to be said by blogger David Cairns (SHADOWPLAY), who was there in NYC from Scotland to see ten days worth of Duvivier. I wish I'd had the chance to see DEADLIER THAN THE MALE, that one sounds like a doozy. LA BELLE EQUIPE and LA BANDERA were both great, in no small part because of Gabin, and I think the most astonishing scene from the latter has to be when Gabin is seated in an Arab cafe watching a topless dancer while being approached by transvestites.

Do you plan on attending any of these ...Charles,<br /> Do you plan on attending any of these films? I'll be in NYC from the 6th to the 9th to see three of them, if you're there at that time we can try to cross paths.Guy Budziaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758926266200914397.post-9422410055338096472009-05-01T10:24:00.000-07:002009-05-01T10:24:00.000-07:00What a thrill.

I've got a so-so print of LA BANDERA on DVD, but I bet it will look great on the big screen. <br />Darroch GreerDarroch Greerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207866681905793912noreply@blogger.com
