Off for a while...
Same destination as those dapper people and a discovery of the aromatic capital of the south, albeit almost certainly with less glamour. Oh well, c'est la vie!
Have a happy Easter everyone, will be back with surprises for you soon!

ReplyDeleteActually, Jules Dassin was an American director (born in Connecticut). He went to France after ending up on the Hollywood Blacklist because of supposed leftist sympathies. He directed some terrific films in France - the US's loss was their gain.
ReplyDeleteYou're 100% right! He's always been referenced as a Franco-icon in Greece, which I suppose is a half-truth. Thanks for mentioning!
