Perfect portrait of to major characters in the French History

Rich and Brasseur were made to perform the roles of Fouché and Talleyrand. Of course unless someone masters the French language foreigners will miss all the subtleties of the dialogue, not only the dialogue but also in the silences and looks of the two politicians one to the other. Rich was a fantastic actor and not long before he died he portrayed a remarkable Cardinal Mazarin in the play "Le diable rouge" (The red devil). As for Brasseur he's a great heir of his father's talent Pierre Brasseur.
