From french TV channel TV5 about 1990 (the video already exists on YouTube but only with 480x360 resolution, this video with 720x576 resolution, from SVHS)
It took me 65 years to realise what a great actor Jean Gabin was. Far from typical part in this film from Jean Renoir, but he is still totally unforgettable. I have now seen him in seven films, from "La Grande Illusion to"French Cancan", via ""Pepe Le Moko", "La Bete Humaine", "Quai des Brumes", " Le Jour Se Leve", "Le Plaisir" and "Touchez pas au Grisbi", and I can now state that there have been very few more charismatic actors in cinema history. You can see why he was a legend in France
