AMCTV: Think Westerns Can’t Be French? Au Contraire.

1. My comment over at AMC: What a great article ! One little correction, I believe you meant Alain DELON not DELOIN !

   There was a pretty lame joke some years ago about Delon/Deloin. It went a little something like this:
   Ugly person says: my friends say I look like Alain Deloin
   Other friend: you mean Delon?
   Ugly person: no really, they say I look like Alain, but from far away (de loin)…
   Vieille blague des Inconnus

2. Robert Silva corrects the post and gives us a nod!

3. He forgot the most famous french actor in Germany: Pierre Brice, who played Karl May’s indian warrior Winnetou in a series of Sauerkraut-Westerns. The part made him famous, but he was forever associated with it.

   Other french actors who made westerns: Roger Hanin, Jean-Louis Trintignant (Il Grande Silenzio), Pierre Perret (Le Juge, where he played Judge Roy Bean), and Johnny Halliday (Le Spécialiste).

4. Changing the subject, The Economist, May 9th issue, page 39, has a discussion on Saint Pierre & Miquelon.

5. Yes, I posted it on RadioBarachois.com. The French government did deliver a letter of intent to the UN. This will probably take decades to settle.

6. Hope you all like the new layout, the page is not as tall and more information is available,  incl. twitter !

7. Appreciate the new layout. Saves me having to spend money to get into twitter. My medical bills keep going up and I really can’t afford to buy the latest “thing”.
