- René Dary, Bifur 3, France, 1944. Réalisateur Maurice Cam started shooting in the ill-fated 1939. WWII began and filming (and France) collapsed. By the time, the Nazi occupation of France ended in 1944 (many French insist WWII lasted during 1939-1944!!), his leading lady Vernay had died at 19, of typhus contracted aboard a boat going to America. Luguet and François Perier’s lead roles were taken tover by Dary and Paul Azaïs – and, with a new blonde look and retroussé nose, Martine Carol gook over as Germaine.. Ironically, it was André Luguet who had suggested she should try cinema in 1939.
- Mario David, L’Enfer, France, 1994. Mario was a regular in the movies of New Wave ikon Claude Chabrol . On this occasion, Mario was the sole member of the never completed 1964 version’s team to win a role when Chabrol re-made the Henri-Georges Clouzot scenario. A French screen treasure, Luguet played 120 roles in 61 years. Mario’s old role was taken over by Chabrol’s son, Thomas – one year old in 1964.
