Arnaud)<br /><br />- almost anything with Charles Berling in it<br /><br />- most movies with Jean Rochefort and/or Pierre Noiret<br /><br />- the later movies with Michel Serrault, who died a few years ago (not so much the earlier slapstick comedy movies)Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-85526685275511201782017-01-04T15:58:58.609+01:002017-01-04T15:58:58.609+01:00Hmmm, this is the third time I've tried to rep...Hmmm, this is the third time I've tried to reply.
