      Before Louis de Funès,...

      ... there was Bach playing Blaireau from the great Alphonse Allais. Bach played in 24 movies, 13 were directed by Henry Wulschleger who wasn't a well-known director. As Blaireau was the first great character Louis de Funès played with the eccentricity everybody knows, Bach played this character with much more anarchy, as if he was quite drunken, and that was really surprising, even shocking. He reminds me of the incredible Michel Simon in "Boudu sauvé des eaux" from the same period, but I just think "l'Affaire Blaireau" was directed before Jean Renoir's masterpiece. Maybe Bach anarchic character (even if very different) inspired Michel Simon and Jean Renoir, who knows? Anyway, "L'affaire Blaireau" is a rare and funny curiosity.
