Luckily, Delon was a wonderful actor. (I'm sure he still is, but I mean in his heyday.)<br /><br />Incidentally, I am happy I found your blog again. I had forgotten what it was called and didn't even realize I had it bookmarked the whole time. I had just been wondering, "Whatever happened to that blog from the woman who loves Dirk Bogarde as much as I do?" I like it here!vladdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048399677044122759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-85887241502593865002015-11-14T18:22:53.945-05:002015-11-14T18:22:53.945-05:00Hurrah!

I haven't seen his Zorro yet either, but I'm really looking forward to it! He seems to have been made to play that part. I did see Le Tulip Noir, where he plays a masked swordsman (actually he plays masked swordsman TWINS!) during the French revolution, and he was pretty fantastic in that one :)<br /><br />@Millie haha thank you! The Killers are a recent development, Brandon Flowers did the vocals on one of New Order's new songs and I've been obsessed ever since I heard it. Do you have a favorite song/album? I can't stop listening to Spaceman and I Can't Stay. And YESSSSS I can't wait to see your video!!!!!! I'm sure it will be evilly genius!kate gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16613714423917702757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-3629429706820829712015-11-10T19:02:33.067-05:002015-11-10T19:02:33.067-05:00YUSSSSSS.

Also, also, I have been super slowly working on a Bradford Dillman vid. This makes me want to work a little harder.

The only thing I've ever seen Alain Delon in is <i>Texas Across the River</i>, but I've seen that a dozen times, so it always feels like I've seen him in more things. Have you seen his Zorro? I'd really like to watch it at some point!<br /><br />Anyway, lovely tribute video :-)Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-76436047869653854282015-11-09T13:26:45.912-05:002015-11-09T13:26:45.912-05:00@Michael Well this was intended more as a tribute ...@Michael Well this was intended more as a tribute to Alain than his costars, but I might make a whole video for Plein Soleil and she'd definitely be included in that. Burning the movies to my computer is time-consuming but I do want to include The Leopard in future videos once I have the file on my hard drive.<br /><br />@Franchot Tone Fan Thank you so much! He's really amazing, I highly recommend Plein Soleil (Purple Noon) as a starter film. He's SO GOOD in it, and that's the one that really got me hooked :)kate gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16613714423917702757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952132016236201534.post-71543887412360340972015-11-09T11:18:04.813-05:002015-11-09T11:18:04.813-05:00That was a gorgeous tribute video!

Alain is also terrific with Claudia Cardinale in Visconti's THE LEOPARD, another key film for him. Michael O'Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820802843771524920noreply@blogger.com
