- Martine Carol, 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 was almost over 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. (She had attracted Hollywood interest after her Max Ophuls film, Le roman de Werther, 1937). With a new blonde look and retroussé nose, this is Martine’s fifth film. Ten year later she would also benefit by working with the legendary Opuls as Lola Montes.
