I have been prevented from accessing the IMDB for about six months now and have only recently been allowed back (yesterday, in fact) and got the shocking piece of news that one of France's premier actors had passed away two months ago.
Jean-Pierre Cassel was in the first film that I saw in a cinema ~ Sidney Lumet's
Murder On The Orient Express ~ and he was also in the fine French thriller
The Crimson Rivers as the outwardly pleasant but inwardly evil Dr Cherneze where he acted alongside his son Vincent, although they had no scenes together.
The film world has lost a great actor and a wonderful person:
merci beaucoup, Jean-Pierre, may you rest in peace and, as you said to Richard Widmark, may you now have pleasant dreams.
