"All About Yves"

The never-before-told story of #YvesMontand's secret life as a #SimoneSignoret impersonator in private Paris salons in the 1950s.

He was the only known movie star ever to perform as their spouse.

Ms. Signoret was always in the audience and was Yves biggest fan, but insisted he retire the act after she won the Oscar for "Room at the Top" in 1958.

you know she was cool, too: she was the inspiration for nina simone’s showbiz sobriquet & none other than jane fonda credits her for introducing her to the world of political activism.
simone’s philosophy of spiritual generosity can be summed up, i think, with her own words, referenced above: ’diversity is beautiful.’
#activist #diversity #simoneSignoret #france #illustration

simone, who acted in over 60 films over the course of four decades, said that a makeup artist working on ‘army of shadows’ was in the resistance & so knew exactly how to replicate injuries inflicted by the nazis. she
marguerite duras called her a queen & said that she ‘freed france from all her limitations & gave her an international presence’. simone loved with passion & loyalty, from both a personal & a universal perspective.

#art #history: i officially declare an overwhelming bias for the fine feline militance of simone signoret, who wasn’t afraid of risking her career to stay true to her endeavours in left-wing activism, human rights & social justice. she & her husband, yves montand, often showed solidarity with activists & striking workers by physically turning up to demonstrations to support them.

Remembering #SimoneSignoret (1921-85), the Oscar / Emmy / BAFTA / Cesar Award-winning French film, television and stage actress, born Simone Henriette Charlotte Kaminker in Wiesbaden #OnThisDay. Widely acclaimed for, among others, Jack Clayton's #RoomAtTheTop (1958), but also unforgettable as the scheming teacher in Clouzot's #LesDiaboliques (1955) and the duplicitous "psychic" in Curtis Harrington's #Games (1967).

#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 7: a town meeting for #NationalTownMeetingDay

Raymond Rouleau's Les sorcières de #Salem (FR/GDR, 1957) – , with a screenplay by Marxist philosopher Jean-Paul #Sartre – is a very early #film adaptation of Arthur Miller's 1953 #TheatrePlay The Crucible. An allegory of #McCarthyism, the play is a (partially dramatised) retelling of the #SalemWitchTrials, a dramatic episode in early US-American history. During several court and town meetings, 200 people were falsely accused of meddling with the Devil; 19 of them were eventually executed.

Miller himself was accused of un-American activities in 1956 and convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to identify others present at meetings he had attended. Which doesn't mean that #WitchTrials are a thing of the past. As easily one can transplant Puritan religious mass hysteria to 1950s McCarthy anti-socialism, as easy is it applicable to the state of the world today.

I feel like rewatching Henri-Georges Clouzot's Les Diaboliques. I'm in the mood to be creeped out.
