DidierF ◊ 2015-11-12 06:04	DidierF wrote Debut film of Danièle Delorme. Why did I write this? It's false. The debut film of Danièle Delorme was Félicie Nanteuil (shot in 1942, but released in 1945), the first movie released with her on the screen was La belle aventure (again a period piece, again directed by Marc Allégret), and her first movie with a significant part was Les petites du quai aux Fleurs (Marc Allégret still), 1944. She played for a good while parts of ingénue, more or less libertine, with a very sensitive touch. She was very good as lead actress in the good adaptations of Colette's novels or short stories, like this very Gigi (where she is for the first time main female part), or Minne, l'ingénue libertine or Mitsou, all directed by Jacqueline Audry. Another period piece set in the Belle époque was Miquette et sa mère (1952), a minor Clouzot's (a great film nonetheless), were she had again the lead female part. Married to Daniel Gélin, she played with him and for him (he was directing) Les dents longues, a movie I long to find again, filled as it was with great and moving scenes. But I never found her better than in one of Duvivier's masterpiece, Voici le temps des assassins..., where she reached the top—while breaking her to-date characterization, going from ingénue and likeable young woman to complete perversity. Then she took distance with acting, spending time in movie production with her second husband, Yves Robert, and their production company, La Gréville, which had various hits in the 60s and the 70s. She briefly returned to acting and enjoyed succes again on the silver screen for two Yves Robert's movies which were hits in France, Un éléphant, ça trompe énormément and its sequel, Nous irons tous au paradis (1976 and 1977). She died on 17th of october, 2015, one week after her 89th birthday. And she'll be forever and dearly remembered by all movie-goers who had the pleasure to see her on the screen. -- Last edit: 2016-07-19 10:40:05
