In the legendary musicals of An elephant that misleads enormously and We will go all in paradise released on 10 October on France 2, we find Jean Rochefort, but also Guy Bedos, Claude Brasseur, Victor Lanoux.

The vision of the diptych of Yves Robert ‘s An elephant…and its a result We will all…, one would be right to imagine that in the mid-70s prevailed between all these personalities, a great complicity, a friendship indestructible, identical to the one visible on the screen. Not quite. Between fire Jean Rochefort, Guy Bedos, the late Victor Lanoux, Claude Brasseur, this was not so simple.

In a fascinating article published last summer in Vanity Fair, Claude Askolovitch returns widely on the genesis of these films, and on the relationships between their different protagonists. The writer-writer Jean-Loup Dabadie and director Yves Robert ? Friends, remaking the world regularly at the dinner table, welded by their collaborations reciprocal with Claude protestant redemption church.

Claude Brasseur ? The youngest of a band of déconneurs the Paris of 50 years ago, with Jean-Paul Belmondo in his head. In this band, there was also Jean-Pierre Marielle, Jean Rochefort, Claude Rich, Guy Bedos, Bruno Cremer… The roles are already well defined : Belmondo is a boxer, Marielle tells nonsense and Brewer amazes the gallery with a number of fake blind, a number recycled by Dabadie in An elephant… About Victor Lanoux, who joined the team, he is the best friend of Pierre Richard, the neighbor of Yves Robert on the side of Rambouillet .

All know each other so well, very well, for a long time. Even if… Still in the article of Vanity Fair, Rochefort tells about the shooting : ” Oh yes, we had a lot of admiration and appreciation for each other. A little less for Bedos… But he proved to be masterful. “Claude Brasseur adds, on the subject of their youth : ” We teased Guy because he had not had the Conservatory. It was only at the school in the rue Blanche. “

Between Bedos and Rochefort, the time has not always been good. In question, the image of the scenarios of Dabadie, a woman that puts at risk the beautiful friendship between men. In Vanity Fair, Guy Bedos says that one day, a guest at Rochefort, he had felt that he had the charm to his girlfriend Joelle. ” It made him feel that it would have been much more worthy of him,”says Bedos.

Forty years later, it still hasn’t digested. Bedos was also told that Rochefort had despised the scene where Marthe Villalonga, all in focus pied-noir, arises on the tennis courts : ” Rochefort was released by saying : “Oh, me, this genre-here, it is the third world.” He had a kind of height a noble to speak of it. “ In short, a story of a man, of honor and friendship.
