Throughout his career, Michel Blanc has offered scenes and dialogues that have stood the test of time. Famous for his character Jean-Claude Dusse, he also distinguished himself on stage with the Splendid troupe.
Michel Blanc, his roles and their lines had become the life companions of many French people. These scenes that it is possible to see and re-watch thanks to the magic of cinema are the legacy of the actor, who leaves a legacy that is still very much alive.
His yellow jumpsuit, his little mustache and his name have caused hilarity among the French for forty years. Jean-Claude Dusse was a splendid one among the Bronzed. Intrepid to flirt and to give some advice on the subject: “If I can allow myself to give you some advice: forget that you have no chance, go for it! You never know. A misunderstanding can work.”recommends Jean-Claude Dusse to the character of Bernard Morin, played by Gérard Jugnot. A replica that has become legendary.
In front of the Splendid theater where Michel Blanc started, even the youngest know: “We grew up with parents who watched films. They showed us these films. It’s something to see someone from the Splendid cast leave”a passerby says. Michel Blanc continued to refine his sense of response even after Les Bronzés, particularly when he moved on to directing.
