First Printing First UK Edition published by Thomas & Hudson hardcover with the original, nearest to fine glossy dustjacket. It contains fifty-four quality archive photographs.

 

This is a true collector’s copy ~ a treasure trove to accompany the discovery of Barrault’s finely honed prose style. Actor, producer, director he is best known outside of France for his memorable portrayal of Baptiste in the film Les Enfants du Paradis.

The hard cover is nearest to fine, the only blemish being slightest foxing to page edges.

Among the personalities mentioned in this marvelous book are of course Cocteau, carne and the great theatrical impresarios of the day. If you are interested in THE GREAT FRENCH FILMS OF THE GOLDEN ERA and the theatrical developments running alongside them ~  then this is a  MUST READ!


REVIEWS

I don't like Barrault's Communism,…  .but I feel bad that his early days in the war and with his Communist family had such a lasting impression on him - makes him a rather sympathetic figure. Enjoyed the chapters on his travels with his wife the most.


HIS PERFORMANCE  IN LES ENFANTS was stunning …….  Incredible book about an amazing actor. Les Enfants Du Paradis (Children of Paradise) is definitely one of my all time favorite movies. Jean Louis Barrault plays such an amazing role, I'm so glad to have found this book.
