Congratulations to my dear friend Emily and the entire group of artists that created this movie. You were superb.
We all loved Disclosure Day!!
Alain Delon in Jean-Pierre Melville's masterpiece, Le Samourai...
Delon on his casting; "the director didn’t even want me for the role, I had to fight for it, I had to prove to him that I was an artist”

"I want the public to realize that above all I am an actor, a very professional one who loves every minute of being in front of the camera. But one who becomes very miserable the instant the director shouts, ‘Cut!’"
- Alain Delon

Alain Delon, sitting there in 1960s monochrome like he’s personally invented melancholy, one hand holding a pen as if it’s a tiny disappointed philosopher, the other gesturing at the void.....

How the World leaders reacted to Jean Renoir's "La Grande Illusion" (1937) upon its release:
After watching the movie, Joseph Goebbels called it "Cinematic Public Enemy No.1" and ordered the prints to be confiscated and destroyed, with Vichy French authorities banning the film in 1940. When the German Army marched into France in 1940, Goebbels ordered the film's prints and negative to be the first things seized by the Nazis.
Benito Mussolini called it an "anti-heroic" film and banned the movie Italy.
Paul-Henri Spaak, then foreign minister of Belgium, who was also the brother of the movie's co-writer Charles Spaak, banned the movie in Belgium.
In France, the Vichy government labelled the movie "demoralizing" & banned it.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, then US President who knew the social and political importance of the movie, supported it and declared, "All the democracies of the world must see this film".
("The Social Cinema of Jean Renoir", Christopher Faulkner, 1986)
P.S: On this day, 89 years ago, "La Grande Illusion" (1937) premiered in Paris, France.
