The film also rediscovered by Artemare Club, is a great example of Italian comedy with the life of the sailors of the Tyrrhenian Sea and has beautiful images of the city of Livorno in the sixties.
Jean Paul Belmondo passed away on Monday, September 16 at the age of 88, taking with him the famous image of the Latin lover, living great loves on and off the screen. Jean-Paul Belmondo’s acting career began in 1960 with Jean-Luc Godard’s “A bout de soufflé”, the symbolic film of the Nouvelle Vague. The great success of the film brings writings that we constantly remember some films with Italian actresses, “The Barefoot Farmer” with Sophia Loren “The wrong way” with Claudia Cardinale. Claude Lelouch’s “Itinéraire d’un enfant gâté”, released in 1988, won him a César Award for best actor, which he never retired. Also in his last 2009 film, Belmondo plays a former sailor, “A Man and His Dog,” directed by Francis Huster.
