The white wig and the big nose.

That's that stood the emblematic figure of the mad cinema sessions (on TV) from my childhood: a pristine white hair, blue eyes, a big nose and teeth crooner. I still remember sitting down on the floor in a dressing gown (yes there is a little over fifteen years, we still put gowns ...) and put down for the umpteenth time of the VHS Y Did a cop to save the Queen? the generic introduction unforgettable, I knew almost all the dialogues by heart (no do not ask me this today, I kinda forgot). To not use the words of my friend in her pretty Anderton ticket this here, for lack of farts, I had a good session to piss laughing at the huge gags performed by impassively this immense comedy actor who has just left us at the beautiful age of 84 spring: the great Leslie Nielsen.

His mouth everyone knows it - except perhaps the youngest - even without ever having heard her giggle name: a face like that, it is not forgotten. Ah it was not really a physical star Leslie is probably why the comedy opened his arms, especially ZAZ (Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker) who offered him a springboard to a merry with Is there a pilot in the plane? ( Airplane! ) released in 1980, and that I would see with pleasure, as the Naked Gun series ( Is there a cop ...? ) was somewhat overshadowed it, playing on the situation comedy rather than sight gags, more difficult to comprehend for a child's mind.

My admiration for the type does not weaken with time, and I dragged my mom regularly (for whom this is not really the category of favorite movies ... but my mom has a lot of dedication!) To the cinema to I twist to his latest opus. Well it was not as masterpieces, but always a pleasure to see the man play his comic talent: Is there a Naked Gun? , Dracula: Dead and Loving It (Mel Brooks, anyway), Agent Zero Zero , The detonator ...

When I learned of his death at noon is a bit of a hero of mine who always has flown, and with it the images that rocked me for many years cinephilia emerging. And for that I almost want to thank Leslie. _______

PS Imagine that the big brother of fellow was Deputy Prime Minister of Canada! It is not trivial even when it eh.
Second PS: Today we also lost Irvin Kershner and Mario Monicelli. Okay it was not partridges of the year, but it's damn tristouille.
