Depardieu was a really hot ticket in the late70’s-early 80’s. For the ladies, check out the movies: The Return of Marin Guerre, Get Out Your Handkerchiefs, and The Last Metro. I always liked Depardieu. Nobody tells him what to do! (except his Directors, of course!)
The Return of Martin Guerre is one of my all time favorites. Of course, the American film industry remade it starring Richard Gere and it was horrible.
Return of Marin Guerre was interesting. Based on an actual court case from the middle ages.
