Anecdotes
Due to Gigot (1962) not being a success, 20th Century Fox did not want to cast Jackie Gleason as Popeye Doyle in The French Connection (1971).

Gaffes
The Baker scoops coins into his hand from the counter and places them in a paper bag. He then puts the bag into a metal box. Except, he missed one coin on the counter. The scene cuts to Gigot in the doorway and then back to the Baker holding the metal box and the coin on the counter is gone.

"How sweet it is!"

Never heard of this movie until I happened upon it today on cable. I was really surprised at how good it was. The movie is set in France, and it was filmed there so the scenery is very authentic. Most of the actors are French so are speaking English with a French accent which also makes the film seem more authentic. Good story line. Gleason plays a poor mute living in a basement flat. He takes in a prostitute and her adorable little girl. He's used and then rejected by the woman, but the little girl has fallen in love with him and sees him as her protector. Very unexpected ending.

A very wholesome film, rated G, I'll be able to show it in class to my students. Jackie Gleason was truly one of the last great entertainers of our time.
