1. – Jean-Marc Bory, Les amants, France, 1958. The Vietnam-born actor told New Wave cineaste Louis Malle that he was just not interested in love scenes.
2. – Sami Frey, La vérité/The Truth, France, 1960. Said much the same when Old Wave realisateur Henri-Georges Clouzot pressured him to be Brigitte Bardot’s lover. Plus he didn’t think much of the script. “After that, the cinema rejected me. Never made a big hit. I was never at ease in films. I prefer the theatre where I never have to look at myself.”
