71 years ago he made a film debut, everyone knows today. Did you miss this star in her first role?

He was “Le Gorille”, “Le Fauve”, “Le Plouc”, “Le Rital”, Fernand Des Tontons Flingueures, Vito Genovese de Cosa Nostra and Jean Valjean, Lino Ventura was his career and his talent from the 60s of the 60s Years! We all remember at least one movie with the actor, but do you know his first appearance on the screen?

You recognized him!

Here he played the first role in Thriller Touchez Pas Au Grisbi, which was released in 1954. He performs an angel Fraser, a drug addict who fights against the rival gang, led by Max (Jean Gabin). Although she has only a few scenes, Ventura puts her reassuring and dark gaze and manages to interact with Boss Gabin for 15 years.

Grab is money in jargon. Note that the replica “Not touched by Griz, you *** H!” Frankis shouted by Blanche on the track In Les Tontons Flingueurs (1963), he clearly recalls this film, which will succeed in getting 4 million and will make Lino Ventura all over France.

Grab and then?

Gabin took Ventura under his wing and hired it for the following film, Razzia Sur La Chnouf (1955), in the same vein as Grice, then crime and Châtiment (1956), Le Rouge (1958), which confirmed that the actor had cut for leading roles.

Lino Ventura was only once nominated for Caesar, for the role of Jane Valjan in Les Miserables, but lost to Philip Leotard in La Balance. It delights the public especially in the genre of thriller (second wind, sophisticated corpses, the clan of the Sicilians, the Guard), but also the drama of the war (the army of shadows), the comedy (L’Ammerdeur, Les Tonton Flings) or adventure film (adventurers).
