@badgemanbrown1987 Read the blurb underneath the video. Good documentary, if you can catch it.

@lillyx7 Well Delon was a guy who was corrupt, arrogant, and treated people very inhumanely-- his perfect leading man image in film was just that, an image.... Just because Delon is rich and famous doesn't make him a better person than someone who is poor.

Funny, a street bum calling Alain Delon vulger, I am pretty sure Delon has never eaten from a garbage can, but I bet that bum has.
