Handsome and athletic Georges Marchal (1920-1997) was one of the main lead actors in the French cinema of the 1950s, together with Jean Marais. He starred in several costume dramas and Swashbucklers and later appeared in films of Luis Buñuel.
Georges Marchal was born as Georges Louis Lucot in Nancy, France, in 1920. In Paris, he followed secondary school, and then took classes in ballet and acrobatics. Many odd jobs followed, like courier, docker at the Les Halles market, and assistant at the Medrano circus. He enrolled in the course of Ms. Calvi, and was hired at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal for the play 'Permission de détente' (Permission to relax) by Yves Mirande. At 20, he joined the Comédie-Française to play in 'Iphigénie et Psyché' (Iphigenia and Psyche). He soon also played in boulevard comedies. His film career started with the comedy Fausse alerte/The French Way (Jacques de Baroncelli, Bernard Dalban, 1940) starring Josephine Baker, which was only released in 1945. During the Occupation days, he was noted in Lumière d'été/Summer Light (Jean Grémillon, 1943) opposite Madeleine Renaud, Vautrin/Vautrin The Thief (Pierre Billon, 1943) with Michel Simon, and after the war, in Au grand balcon/The Grand Terrace (Henri Decoin, 1949) with Pierre Fresnay, about the heroic pilots who struggled, suffered and often died to carry the mail. He became the typical Jeune Premier of the French post-war cinema and posed as a rival of Jean Marais although he didn’t reach the same level. In 1951, he assumed the title role in Il naufrago del Pacifico/Robinson Crusoe (Jeff Musso, 1951), and for Sacha Guitry, he played the young Louis XIV in the star-studded Si Versailles m'était conté/Affairs of Versailles (Sacha Guitry, 1953). In 1951, he married actress Dany Robin. They were both young, beautiful, adored, and preserved their privacy in a house of Montfort l'Amaury. They made six films together, including La Voyageuse Inattendue/The Unexpected Voyager (Jean Stelli, 1949), based on an old script by Billy Wilder, and the comedy Jupiter (Gilles Grangier, 1952). Georges’ talent as a stuntman did wonders for his parts in costume films and swashbucklers such as Messalina (Carmine Gallone, 1952) with Maria Félix, Teodora, imperatrice di Bisanzio/Theodora, Slave Empress (Riccardo Freda, 1954) with Gianna Maria Canale, and Les trois mousquetaires/The Three Musketeers (André Hunebelle, 1953) in which he featured as D'Artagnan.
The arrival of the Nouvelle Vague (New Wave) sounded like the death knell for Georges Marchal. He moved to Italy to continue his career. With his muscular body, he was an ideal hero for the Peplum films (the Italian sword and sandal epics). He appeared in a dozen of them, including Nel Segno Di Roma/Sheba and the Gladiator (Guido Brignone - and uncredited Riccardo Freda and Michelangelo Antonioni, 1958) with Anita Ekberg, Le legioni di Cleopatra/Legions of the Nile (Vittorio Cottafavi, 1959) with Linda Cristal, and Sergio Leone's first solo directorial effort, Il colosso di Rodi/The Colossus of Rhodes (Sergio Leone, 1961) with Rory Calhoun. Marchal was a close friend of Luis Buñuel and also one of his preferred actors. Marchal starred in four of his films: Cela s'appelle l'aurore/That is the Dawn (1955) with Lucia Bosé, La mort en ce jardin/Death in the Garden (1956) with Simone Signoret, Belle de jour/Beauty of the Day (1967) with Catherine Deneuve, and La voie lactee/The Milky Way (1969) with Laurent Terzieff. Other interesting films he appeared in were the anthology film Guerre secrète/The Dirty Game (Terence Young, Christian Jaque, Carlo Lizzani, Werner Klinger, 1965) with Robert Ryan, the Romanian historical epic Dacii/The Dacians (Sergiu Nicolaescu, 1967) with Pierre Brice, Faustine et le bel été/Faustine and the Beautiful Summer (Nina Companeez, 1972) and Les Enfants du placard/The Closet Children (Benoît Jacquot, 1977) with Lou Castel. During the 1970s, he focussed on television and appeared in Quentin Durward (Gilles Grangier, 1971), as Philip IV the Fair in Les rois maudits/The Accursed Kings (Claude Barma, 1972), Gaston Phébus (Bernard Borderie, 1977), and Les grandes familles/The Great Families (Edouard Molinaro, 1988) with Michel Piccoli. He played a seductive older man in three TV-films based on the legendary Claudine novels by Colette, Claudine à Paris/Claudine in Paris (1978), Claudine en ménage/Pauline Engaged (1978) and Claudine s'en va/Claudine Goes (1978), all starring Marie-Hélène Breillat and directed by Edouard Molinaro. He also played Claude Jade's father in the fine TV Mini-series L'Île aux trente cercueils/The Island of Thirty Coffins (Marcel Cravenne, 1979). He retired in 1989. His last film appearance had been as General Keller in L'Honneur d'un capitaine/A Captain’s Honour (Pierre Schoendoerffer, 1982) about the French army's behaviour in Algeria. Georges Marchal died in 1997 in Maurens, France, following a long illness. He was married to Dany Robin from 1951 till their much-publicised divorce in 1969. He remarried in 1983 to Michele Heyberger.

American actor Charles Bronson (1921-2003) was the archetypal screen tough guy with weatherbeaten features. He was a man of few words but much action in hits like Machine-Gun Kelly (1958), The Magnificent Seven (1960) and The Dirty Dozen (1967). But our favourite is the iconic Spaghetti Western C'era una volta il West/Once Upon a Time in the West (1968).
Charles Bronson was born Charles Buchinsky, in Ehrenfeld, Pennsylvania, in 1921. He was one of 15 children of struggling parents. His mother, Mary (Valinsky), was born in Pennsylvania, to Lithuanian parents, and his father, Walter Buchinsky, was a Lithuanian immigrant coal miner. He completed high school and joined his father in the mines and then served in WW II. After his return from the war, Bronson used the GI Bill to study art, then enrolled at the Pasadena Playhouse in California. One of his teachers was impressed with the young man and recommended him to director Henry Hathaway, resulting in Bronson making his film debut in You're in the Navy Now (1951). He appeared on screen often early in his career, though usually uncredited. However, he made an impact on audiences as the evil assistant to Vincent Price in the 3-D thriller House of Wax (Andre de Toth, 1953). His sinewy yet muscular physique got him cast in action-type roles, often without a shirt to highlight his manly frame. He received positive notices from critics for his performances in Vera Cruz (Robert Aldrich, 1954), Target Zero (Harmon Jones, 1955) and Run of the Arrow (Samuel Fuller, 1957) with Rod Steiger and Sara Montiel. Indie director Roger Corman cast him as the lead in his well-received low-budget gangster flick Machine-Gun Kelly (1958), then Bronson scored the lead in his own TV series, Man with a Camera (1958-1960).
The 1960s proved to be the era in which Charles Bronson made his reputation as a man of few words but much action. Director John Sturges cast him as half Irish/half Mexican gunslinger Bernardo O'Reilly in the smash hit Western The Magnificent Seven (1960) with Yul Brynner, and hired him again as tunnel rat Danny Velinski for the WWII POW big-budget epic The Great Escape (1963), starring Steve McQueen. Several more strong roles followed, then once again he was back in military uniform, alongside Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine in the testosterone-filled The Dirty Dozen (Robert Aldrich, 1967). European audiences had taken a shine to his minimalist acting style, and he headed to the Continent to star in several action-oriented films, including La bataille de San Sebastian/Guns for San Sebastian (Henri Verneuil, 1968), the cult western C'era una volta il West/Once Upon a Time in the West (Sergio Leone, 1968) opposite Claudia Cardinale, Le passager de la pluie/Rider On The Rain (René Clément, 1970) with Jill Ireland, the Western Soleil rouge/Red Sun (Terence Young, 1971) alongside Japansese screen legend Toshirô Mifune and Ursula Andress, and The Valachi Papers (Terence Young, 1972) with Lino Ventura and Jill Ireland, who had become his wife in 1968.
Charles Bronson returned to Hollywood in the early 1970s to take the lead in the revenge Western Chato's Land (Michael Winner, 1972) and the crime film The Mechanic (Michael Winner, 1972). After nearly 25 years as a working actor, he became an 'overnight sensation'. Bronson and British director Michael Winner made more highly successful urban crime thrillers, such as The Stone Killer (1973). He then scored a solid hit as a Colorado melon farmer-done-wrong in the Elmore Leonard adaptation Mr. Majestyk (Richard Fleischer, 1974). However, the film that proved to be a breakthrough for both Bronson and Winner was the controversial Death Wish (Michael Winner, 1974). IMDb: "The US was at the time in the midst of rising street crime, and audiences flocked to see a story about a mild-mannered architect who seeks revenge for the murder of his wife and rape of his daughter by gunning down hoods, rapists and killers on the streets of New York City. So popular was the film that it spawned four sequels over the next 20 years." Possibly his best role was the Depression-era street fighter Chaney in Hard Times (Walter Hill, 1975) alongside James Coburn. That was followed by the Western Breakheart Pass (Tom Gries, 1975) with Jill Ireland, the light-hearted romp From Noon Till Three (Frank Gilroy, 1976) and as Soviet agent Grigori Borsov in the Cold War thriller Telefon (Don Siegel, 1977) with Lee Remick. Bronson remained busy throughout the 1980s, with most of his films taking a more violent tone. Bronson jolted many critics with his forceful work as murdered United Mine Workers leader Jock Yablonski in the TV movie Act of Vengeance (John Mackenzie, 1986) opposite Ellen Burstyn, and gave an interesting performance in The Indian Runner (Sean Penn, 1991) starring David Morse and Viggo Mortensen. He surprised many as compassionate newspaper editor Francis Church in the family film Yes Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus (Charles Jarrott, 1991). Ill health began to take its toll; Charles Bronson suffered from Alzheimers disease for the last few years of his life, and finally passed away from pneumonia at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in 2003.

Translation for title which is in german: (the strictest parents in the world)
Last summer. In Germany there is the TV company called kabeleins, and they decided that they would do a program based on "Die strengsten Eltern der Welt" (the strictest parents in the world) And they looked all over the world for cultures/people that would take in young Germans and discipline them and make them work. And in doing so make a documentary of the 2 week stay, and how our society inspires/support young people that work and participate in creating a healthy community.
So for two weeks we had the two young people; Thomas(14) and Sarah(16) work while they videotaped them in doing so. I personally found the experience quite interesting, and i dramatically improved my German speaking skills, they could barely understand English, so we had to speak as much German as possible. I was quite rusty at first because we traditionally speak "low German" and with them we had to speak the more formal "high German".
The two actors lived on the colony for the whole time while the filming crew and producer came only during the day. And the work and activities we did with them range from manual labor in our 12acre community vegetable garden to picking wild berries, cutting sod, working in the shops, cooking(her only) playing sports like baseball, soccer, football, swimming and we even had a track and field day while they were here. And while the documentary was more focused on them two, many other people will be included, the ones that interacted with them and so on.
At the end they did like a "fake" farewell where they drove out and taped it, and of course they couldn't leave without the cameraman, and then they left the way someone does, with all the people.
So..the reason why i posted the photo, because first of all i like the memories and colors and everything else and secondly(more importantly as of now) because the documentary is airing on Saturday (February 28) in Germany. A link can be found here (don't bother if you can't read German)

Hampton Court - Is that Henry VIII?
Cardinal Thomas Wolsey acquired the 14th Century manor at Hampton Court in 1514. Construction on a new palace began in 1515, and the resulting 1,000-room country house was finer than King Henry VIII's own palaces--a problem that Henry solved by appropriating the estate in the 1520s. Henry expanded the palace, which remained largely unchanged until the reign of William and Mary, when the Tudor structure was modernized under the direction of Christopher Wren. The last monarch to live in the palace was George II, who died in 1760.

The Postcard
A postcard bearing no studio name that was posted in Forest Hill, London S.E. The photograph is high-definition.
Forest Hill is a leafy residential area near its namesake railway station. Set in landscaped gardens with a weekly farmers’ market and outdoor summer concerts, the family-friendly Horniman Museum has an aquarium, a beloved stuffed walrus, and a musical instrument collection. At the edge of the neighbourhood, Blythe Hill Fields park has sweeping views of the city skyline.
The house number is 51; if anyone recognises exactly where is is, please leave a note.
The card was posted on Friday the the 20th. October 1911 to:
Mother Ursula,
Ursuline Convent,
Westgate-on-Sea,
Kent.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Mother Ursula,
Please accept all kind
thoughts and best wishes
for a very happy feast.
Yours sincerely,
S. & J. Gibbons & little ones".
The writer would have been referring to the Feast of St. Ursula which takes place every year on the 21st. October.
Ursuline Convent
Ursuline College (formerly Ursuline Convent School) is a Catholic secondary school located in Westgate-on-Sea, in north-east Kent. Aimed at pupils aged 11 to 19, the college is based within the Ursuline and Catholic ethos, aiding and teaching its pupils within this regime.
The school in Westgate-on-Sea was established in 1904 when a group of Ursuline Sisters fled Boulogne-sur-Mer with a number of their pupils. Although their school in Boulogne-sur-Mer had existed since 1624, laws passed in France had made it impossible for the Sisters to continue their work of Christian education in France.
Initially the school was set up as a boarding school for girls, meeting the needs of parents working in the Colonies or serving in the Forces.

So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?

Paul Bernard (1898-1958) was an accomplished French stage actor, who also appeared in thirty-five films between 1922 and 1958. With his commanding, often menacing screen presence, he often played men of sinister charm, usually negative or twisted characters. His films included the silent serial film Les mystères de Paris/The Mysteries of Paris (Charles Burguet, 1922), Lumière d'été/Summer Light (Jean Grémillon, 1943), and the drama Un ami viendra ce soir/A Friend Will Come Tonight (Raymond Bernard, 1946).
Paul Renaud Bernard was born in 1898 in Villeneuve-sur-Lot, France. He made his film debut as the young prince Rodolphe in the silent serial Les mystères de Paris/The Mysteries of Paris (Charles Burguet, 1922) starring Huguette Duflos and Georges Lannesas the older Rodolphe. The serial, which ran in twelve installments, was based on the novel 'The Mysteries of Paris' by Eugène Sue. In the following decade, he became an accomplished stage actor, who always preferred theatre to film. According to IMDb, his star-making vehicle in the cinema was the psychological drama Pension Mimosas (Jacques Feyder, 1935) starring Françoise Rosay. In the following years, he appeared in such films as the comedy Bach détective/Bach the Detective (René Pujol, 1936) starring Bach. During the occupation of France by the Nazis, he appeared with Madeleine Renaud, Pierre Brasseur, and Madeleine Robinson in Lumière d'été/Summer Light (Jean Grémillon, 1943), scripted by Jacques Prévert and Pierre Laroche. The film was banned from theatres for the duration of the occupation for its dark portrayal of the hedonistic excesses of the ruling class. The next year, he played the villain in the popular Swashbuckler Le bossu/The Hunchback (Jean Delannoy, 1944) with Pierre Blanchar.
After the war, Paul Benard played the lead role in Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne/The Ladies of the Bois de Boulogne (Robert Bresson, 1945). This is a modern adaptation of a section of Denis Diderot's 'Jacques le fataliste' (1796) that tells the story of a man who is tricked into marrying a prostitute. Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne was Bresson's second feature. Bernard had a huge box office success in France with the drama La fille aux yeux gris/Girl with Green Eyes (Jean Faurez, 1945) in which he starred with Fernand Ledoux and Claude Génia. Another success was the historical drama Roger la Honte (André Cayatte, 1946) starring Lucien Coëdel, María Casares, and Bernard.
