| | Jacques PrévertUn poète en liberté (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Is it the poet or the screenwriter, the composer of chansons or the companion of the Surrealists, the friend of Picasso or the solitary figure who walked the old streets of Paris, the provocateur or the author of children's fairy tales? |
 | | In fact, when, at the behest of Moscow, its leader Maurice Thorez rediscovered Joan of Arc and heaped praise on good old patriotism, Prévert, for his part, remained a staunch opponent of all things military and never compromised his pacifist attitude. |
 | | He composed unforgettable lyrics for countless songs performed by all the greats, from Juliette Gréco to Mouloudji, from the Frères Jacques to Catherine Sauvage, Serge Reggiani to Yves Montand. |
