Jean Gabin took his first steps in cinema in the 1930s and quickly rose to fame thanks to his striking naturalness. Having become a star, he made his mark in the most famous French films, first by playing magnificent thugs or characters with tragic destinies, then by imprinting his characters with his aura, his legendary wit, and his charisma that commanded respect. An exceptional actor, he became one of the great names of French cinema and continued to build his legend, working with the greatest filmmakers (Grangier, Verneuil, Delannoy) and alongside prestigious actors (Bernard Blier, Lino Ventura, Louis de Funès, Alain Delon, Jean-Paul Belmondo).
