In 1970, two actors are the holy beasts of French cinema. And just because the mountains don’t come together, they will share the poster for the first time. Borsalino, by Jacques Deray. The idea comes from Alain Delon. Shooting in Marseille is like hell: lawyers’ contracts state that the two stars must punch exactly the same number of times and appear at the same time as the image. Delon, the producer of the film, will have the final word: he prevents Belmondo from seeing the promotional poster with Alain Delon’s name twice. Acting quickly, Bébel sued the production and said: “I was faced with a fait accompli!” The betrayed man who learned his lesson now decides to shoot his own movies. The two actors-producers no longer talk to each other…
Compromise?
It will take eighteen years for the stars to play together again. This event movie entitled, 1 in 2 chanceis directed by Patrice Leconte and marks the reconciliation between two over 60-year-olds who face off in a brawny duel with their bare hands. Alain Delon, a nasty megalomaniac, can’t help but fail when the movie is released: “Jean-Paul Belmondo’s career would never have been like this without mine.”
