He took the first steps on the screen 95 years ago and he became one of the largest French players. Are you recognized?

A 40-year-old career, Fernandel, was often called a “horse” and his legendary smile with the most popular comedies of French cinema, from the Gaîtés de l’quadron law, is the law, Ali Baba and 40 Thieves, Don Camillo or the Prumist.

Fernande returned to the elderly: Jane Renoar, Julien Duvivier, Marcel Pagnol, but also Jean Boyer, Maurice Tournament, Henry Vernuel, Claude Plus-Lara or Gilles Grangier. He created an ephemeral production company, Jean Gabin, and made three feature films in 1942 and 1951.

Did you realize this in the first role?

In 1930, Fernandel played duo sketches with Marcel Joos between the number of repeated reviews in Vogue. Director Mark Allegrit appreciates his physics and manages him in several short films, seems to have achieved only one: Best Bobon. Fernandel performs Lucien Pivine, who has to take a certain Mr. Buchamian at dinner to convince him to buy a new invention of Lucien.

At the same time, his wife Emma is angry with the house cooker and released. Emma herself has to take the role of “kindness” against Bouchamiel. At the same time, Lucien runs the kitchen catastrophically. The little original, despite its final fate, is not successful and not so well played, but it will allow Fernandel to take his first role in the feature film, which will be in white and black, signed by Allegrit and Robert Flor.

The first roll and then?

Two years later, Fernandel will take his first role in cinema by Le Rosier by Madame Husson by Dominic Bernard-Deschamps, adapted to the short story of Guy de Maupassant. The extension of the 1930s has seen that comics have great success for Marcel Pagnol or Christian Jacques. Almost twenty years later, and a few more films he performed himself, Fernande triumphs in a series of Don Camillo, which will make his glory in the 1950s and 60s.
