Louis Jourdan, RIP
Suave ladies' man Louis Jourdan has died at the age of 93. While the French actor starred and/or appeared in many famous films - most notably Gigi - I will remember him best as...Swamp Thing.
Well I liked that. Totally new to me. Here's Louis Jordan as Dr Arcane in the movie: https://archive.org/details/LouisJourdanAsDr.AntonArcane
ReplyDeleteHe oozes style, and that movie has great atmosphere in the quiet bits.
Are your swamps infested with leeches like ours are? I'm still trying to find a good leech repellent.
I've never seen a leech, but I imagine we must have them. The swamps here are mostly infested with snakes, mosquitoes and ticks.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what possessed the debonair Jourdan to take on the role of Swamp Thing. It's probably the most counter-intuitive bit of casting ever.
