Gérard Blain is a screen veteran of the old school with a filmography that reaches back further than most viewers remember. If the filmography has a home genre, it is drama. Neither the cinema nor the television half of the career can be called the side project. The film 'The American Friend' accounts for more of the public profile than anything else does. 'Hatari!' is a second title with real reach. The filmography reaches back well before the best-known title.
