View Full Version : A tribute to Marcel Marceau through the medium of internet mime miniminch 23-09-2007, 15:27 :):o:(:(:(:(:help::thumbsup: Dozy 23-09-2007, 15:30 Is he one of those philosopher chappies like wot LordChaverley refers to on the Open Minds thread?? melthebell 23-09-2007, 15:31 now he'll have a real box to climb out of R.I.P marcell cressida 23-09-2007, 15:32 He was in the film Summer Holiday I think - a short interlude LordChaverly 23-09-2007, 16:21 How do we know he's dead? - he could be miming something. Personally, I can't say that I will miss him. A mildly amusing (for a minute or so) variety show act somehow became elevated into something equivalent to an art form in the public mind. I am not surprised that it originated in France, the natural home of pretentious pseudery of various kinds. In truth his act was a pretentious bore. Moreover, it has given rise to an unprepossessing crop of even less talented imitators, not least in the form of street beggars. LordChaverly 23-09-2007, 16:24 He was in the film Summer Holiday I think - a short interlude cressida, I think you are probably confusing him with Jacques Tati (another French mime bore) and with his film 'M. Hulot's Holiday'. Plain Talker 23-09-2007, 17:28 *mimes waving "bye-bye" to Monsieur Marceau*. I remember Kenny Everett's mickey take of him. :wave: dennistowler 24-09-2007, 19:58 Personally I am with Lord Vetinari He banned street theatre and would hang mime artists upside down in a scorpion pit opposite a sign that read "Learn the Words" Mod_Man 24-09-2007, 20:35 You mean I'm not deaf after all?
