My Take

Daniel Gélin was a fixture of postwar French cinema, the kind of leading man who anchored a film without grandstanding. He died in 2002, but his run from Rendezvous in July through Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much shows real range, and he later turned up in Life Is a Long Quiet River. I like that he didn't just coast on a handsome face; he wrote and directed too. He was also father to Maria Schneider, which ties him to one of cinema's more painful chapters. A genuine witness to French film's golden decades.
