    It was him looking impossibly cool in Godard’s Breathless with a Gitane constantly in his gob that got me thinking (as a 19 yo) smoking was a great and necessary fashion accessory. The bastard.

    I don’t recall ever seen him in a non-Godard film…

      He was so huge in Europe, that you'd know Belmondo without knowing his movies. He was iconic. I can't name a single Belmondo film I've seen, but I've seen him in several films on German TV.

        Back in the olden days, it wasn't surprising to watch foreign language fillums on BBC2 during prime time. Got to love J-PB.

          Ah yes, during my salad days Belmondo and Seberg ranked only just below Bogart and Bacall or Ladd and Lake in the pantheon of noir couples.
