	village voice > film > "Jean Gabin—Everybody's Star" at Walter Reade Theater by Elliott Stein
		In nearly 100 films, from the early sound era until his last picture in 1976 (the year of his death), he gave performances of such simplicity that he seemed not to be acting at all.
		The typical Gabin role was that of a vulnerable yet stoic man of the people—an Oedipus in overalls, at odds with a hostile universe.
		Here, Gabin is a cavalry soldier in dashing uniform—Don Juan in a Midi garrison town who gets his comeuppance from a Parisian femme fatale.

	World Cinema: Actors -- Jean Gabin
		In the late 30s Gabin gained an international reputation as the strong, silent, and often deeply human hero, and more often, anti-hero, of such milestones of the French cinema as Duvivier's Pépé le Moko, Renoir's La Grande Illusion, and Carné's Port of Shadows.
		The quintessential Gabin role was that of an earthy loner, an outsider, usually a courageous, independent-minded member of the bourgeois or working-class.
		Gabin's 40-year career as a leading star has made him a national institution in France and one of the best known screen personalities the world over.

	LA BETE HUMAINE
		Jean Gabin earned a place in the hearts of the French people with his portrayal of the working-class hero/victim, Lantier, a devoted engineer on the Paris-Le Havre line who is haunted by the threat of madness inherited from his alcoholic forbears.
		"Gabin, with the slightest tremor in his face, could express the most violent feelings," Jean Renoir wrote; his melancholy is nowhere better defined than in the split-second when he looks into a mirror to see the eyes, not so much of a murderer, perhaps, as of a suicide.
		Driven by a Gabin lookalike, the model was called upon to evoke an idea of the French proletariat visualised by Renoir in 1938.

		The most popular French actor of the pre-war era, Jean Gabin was born in May 1904 in Paris as Jean-Alexis Gabin Moncorge to an unknown actor and unsuccessful chanteuse who died early leaving her small children to their father’s care.
		Retaining his signature image of a tough anti-hero, set in his beliefs, feared and respected by all, Jean Gabin appeared in a series of psychological thrillers and crime dramas, his acting always so natural and easy, a fascinating combination of an amateur actor and the virtuosity of a great artist.
		Gabin’s colleagues compared his death to the lightning that suddenly strikes an old but still firm tree they had long since grown used to see as a symbol of eternity...

		Jean Gabin, in a truly iconic performance, is the titular notorious and elegant master thief who is safe as long as he stays in the Casbah.

	Pépé Le Moko (1937): Jean Gabin, Mirielle Balin, Lucas Gridoux, Line Noro - PopMatters Film Review
		For all his unlawful activities, Pépé is a character with style and a certain nobility of gesture, as when he strokes the hair of the dead Pierrot or affectionately interacts with the locals.
		Gabin's force is more verbal than physical in Pépé Le Moko, and entirely persuasive and engrossing.
		They include a 1962 television interview with Duvivier; portions of a 1978 documentary on Gabin; excerpts from Ginette Vincendeau's smart and readable BFI Classic study of the film; and, side by side, a comparison of Duvivier's film with the 1938 Hollywood remake.

	Monsieur / 1964 / film review / Jean-Paul Le Chanois / Jean Gabin
		Both of these films are comic farces — of the kind that were much beloved by French cinema audiences at the time — and both feature Gabin in a gentle comic role which makes a marked contrast to the tough screen persona he had created for himself in the 1950s and 1960s.
		Although Gabin generally appears far less at ease in this kind of film than in straight dramas or policiers, in Monsieur he gives a pleasing performance, playing, for once, a genuinely likeable character, albeit one with a rough edge.
		Monsieur is arguably the most satisfying of Gabin’s comic films, mainly on account of its impressive cast which, in addition to the superlative Gabin, offers an array of acting talent.

	Grand Illusion ~Jean Renoir ~Jean Gabin~Pierre ~DVD New (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Calling on his own experiences as an aviator in WWI as well as those of his comrades, Jean Renoir's antiwar masterpiece bids farewell to the class constrictions of European society and calls for the unity of humankind across class and national boundaries.
		Set in the German prison camps of WWI, the film stars Jean Gabin as Marechal, and Marcel Dalio as Rosenthal.
		One of the great films of all time, GRAND ILLUSION perhaps most purely embodies director Jean Renoir's characterstic humanism, manifested less here in camera technique than an instinctive ability to educe truthful performances from his cast.

		With the discovery of the camera negative of Jean Renoir's 1937 Grand Illusion, we can now see this classic -- long available only in soft, contrast-deficient copies -- in a clear, crisp print with deep fls and subtle grays.
		Set during World War I, Grand Illusion is about three captured French officers (Jean Gabin, Marcel Dalio, and Pierre Fresnay) and how they try to escape from German POW camps.
		As good as they become and as much as they love freedom, these men will go on killing each other -- that's the pessimism at the core of Renoir's humanism.
