Jean Gabin

And he is suicidal through a great deal of these movies.

which had me thinking recently that he actually has a lot in common with, of all things, the French poetic realism stuff that was coming out of France in the 1930s with Jean Gabin and like that, where you'd have the gangsters.

It's early film noir, but they are both, they're on the road to their death and they know it.

Yeah, well, you know, I was exposed to the wolf man as a burgeoning teenager.
