Robert Vaughn guest starring as the killer on Columbo aboard ship also starring Dean Stockwell.

I stand doubly corrected, Lorna. About all I can say in my defense is I made that post at something like 4:45 am.
Did you see my posts about The Wild Angels/Tarnished Angels?
The film was The Wild Angels. I called it by the incorrect title several times.
I am more likely to make mistakes when I am tired or distracted.

The Topaz that we were talking about is a French play by Marcel Pagnol.
Okay, Princess.
I got sidetracked because the other film takes place in France.
Gotcha.
-
You didn't read the whole post. We're talking about French movies here. Topaz is a play in French literature and it's been made into an American and a French movie as well.
Topaz is also a cold war book, and you said you had not seen the American version..
There are lot of books that have both a foreign language version and an English language version.
It's about French people and most of the actors in the movie are French.

Laffite--
The two Yves Robert movies follow Pagnol's memoirs very well about Marseille and Garlaban. I fell in love with all the characters particularly Oncle Jules. I honestly felt that the second book--Le Château de Ma Mère was much weaker so the film was much weaker. I brought the CD soundtrack of the movie in Paris. Vladimir Cosma wrote that Beautiful music. I believe he did a lot of movies for Yves Robert.
I never cared much for Fanny. We had to read Topaz in high school French class.
They've made American and French movies of that play, but I haven't seen either one.
The two Manon movies are truly magnificent cinema by Claude Berri with the best actors France or any country had to offer in the latter part of the twentieth century.
Talking about Marseille, I'm a big fan of Fernandel movies. They show them all the time on television in France. I love his music too. He did some collaborations with Pagnol. I wouldn't say Fernandel's Cinema was great, but it's exceedingly heart rendering and entertaining.
Chacun à son goût.
You have not seen the Hitchcock Movie Topaz?
It's not my favourite Hitchcock film, but I like it better than Torn Curtain.

I love The Birds. When I was in the Bay Area a few years ago, I wanted to stop in Bodega Bay, but I simply forgot (I know, how could I do that?). I'm disappointed that the school is a private residence. I'm sure that Suzanne Pleshette's character's home is a private residence as well (if it's still there). The photo that I wanted to take would involve me lying on the steps of the school or the teacher's house and pretending that I was killed by the birds. Morbid I know. But I thought it was funny. Maybe I could have attached some fake crows to my clothes.
I would still like to visit the area. I am only about 10-12 hours away. Maybe next time I'm in California I'll be able to make the trip.
If you ever do visit Bodego Bay, be sure to share what it was like.

He was much too fat by the mid 70's.
The ending would have been too sadly ironic too.
I have heard that the original version of A Star Is Born was based on a real-life married couple where the husband was a star first and his wife tried to save him but he committed suicide.
-
Thanks for sharing your stay at Bodego Bay.
I'd love to stay there, but I do not travel much anymore.
The Birds is one of my favourite Hitchcock films. Hitchcock is my favourite director.

While Cary Grant somewhat played against type in Suspicion, I think he would have been great as a killer. I also agree with Maureen O'Hara in some type of villain role. People with exceptionally good looks and who are very charming would be the most deadly of villains, in that it would be easy to see others being easily taken in by someone who was extraordinarily attractive. That's one of the reasons that Gene Tierney's character is so chilling in Leave Her to Heaven. The scene in the lake is probably one of the disturbing scenes in film.
Bette Davis in a swashbuckler would be interesting.
Re: Grant in Suspicion:
Two endings were filmed. In one he was clearly guilty.
The ending we see was preferred by studios who believed his fans who never buy film as a killer unless he was in uniform and it was a war film.

Belles Poitrine.

No, sorry. So what do we have? We have an ingredient (in leg form and in French that Azure identified) in Navarin Printanier; and we have a connection to the actor you mentioned. And we have established that the actor in question doesn't utter a word in the movie in question.
SILENT MOVIE has Marceau in it.
But that does not have lamb.

You will have to ask someone like Jakeem, Kid Dabb, or lawrenceA to post videos of Sinatra.
I don't know how.

Yes, but it's a hint pointing to the movie in question.
Shanks?
Marcel Marceau film

Quilters

Hint -- think "Bang, zoom." Although the character in the movie in question doesn't utter a word.
Bang Zoom makes me think of Jackie Gleason of the Honeymooners. That's a TV show, though.

I enjoy the Fanny trilogy. But I have not seen them in a long time.
