The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?He was the face of French cinema's bleakest, most beautiful hour - the drifter, the doomed lover, the man who couldn't outrun fate in a string of late-'30s films that still feel like watching a bruise form in real time.

Jean-Alexis Moncorgé was born in May 1904 and took the stage name Jean Gabin. Between 1937 and 1939, he anchored a run of films - Pépé le Moko, La grande illusion, Le Quai des brumes, La bête humaine, Le jour se lève - that turned him into the archetype of French fatalism on screen. He kept working through the decades, adding Le plaisir in 1952, and collected a Silver Bear and a Volpi Cup along the way. France pinned the Légion d'honneur on him for the weight he carried in its cinema. He died in November 1976.
