The Crossing of Paris was described as follow:
Two guys cross over Paris with suitcases full of illegal pork meat in occupied Paris. Because of a complicated situation, the usual guy didn't have his accomplice and took under his wing the first guy he met, but as the night progresses and they evade french and german forces alike, the usual guy and the viewers start doubting the new guy. Until they're both caught by the germans, and the new guy's secret is revealed, saving his life last minute as the usual guy is taken, plausibly to be shot. Not spoiling you've got to watch it!!!
The Bridge on the River Kwai was described as follow:
A bunch of british soldiers prisonners of the Japanese are forced to build a bridge to help the japanese armies make their way through the river kwai.

Jean Gabin and Bourvil in Four Bags Full aka The Crossing of Paris aka Pig Across Paris (Claude Autant-Lara, 1956)
Cast: Jean Gabin, Bourvil, Louis de Funès, Jeanette Batti, Georgette Anys, Robert Arnoux, Laurence Badie, Jacques Marin, Jean Dunot, MonetteDinay. Screenplay: Jean Aurenche, Pierre Bost, based on a story by Marcel Aymé. Cinematography: Jacques Natteau. Production design: Max Douy. Film editing: Madeleine Gug. Music: René Cloërec.
Like most movie-lovers whose knowledge of film extends beyond "Hollywood," I was familiar with Jean Gabin, but although I had encountered the name, I didn't know Bourvil, celebrated in France but not so much on this side of the Atlantic. Which made it difficult for me at first to capture the tone and humor of La Traversée de Paris, a film also known as Four Bags Full, The Crossing of Paris, The Trip Across Paris, and Pig Across Paris. Since the film begins with newsreel footage of German troops occupying Paris in 1942, it strikes a more serious tone than it eventually takes. Marcel Martin (Bourvil) is a black market smuggler tasked with carrying meat from a pig that's slaughtered at the beginning of the movie while he plays loud music on an accordion to cover its squeals. He's responsible for transporting two suitcases filled with pork across the city to Montmartre, but when the other smuggler fails to show up, he has to accept the aid of a stranger, Grandgil (Gabin), who agrees to carry the other two valises. Grandgil, however, wants the butcher, Jambier (Louis de Funès), to pay much more than the originally agreed-upon amount for his services, and blackmails him into accepting, to the consternation of Martin. The task is perilous, given the vigilance of the French police and the German occupying troops, so the film wavers between thriller and comedy -- the latter particularly when some stray dogs pick up the scent of what's in the suitcases. It ends up being a fascinating tale of the odd-couple relationship between Grandgil and Martin, as well as a picture of what Parisians went through during the occupation. It was controversial when it was released because it takes a warts-and-all look at black-marketeers and the Résistance, downplaying the heroism without denying the genuine risks they took. Eventually, Grandgil and Martin are caught by the Germans, but Grandgil is released because the officer in charge recognizes him as a famous artist. Martin is sent to prison, but the two are reunited after the war when Grandgil recognizes him at a train station as the porter carrying his luggage -- a rather obvious, and somewhat sour, bit of irony.

"Sans Cœur"
Lethica Nightborne & Marius Renathyr from Edge of Midnight, right in time for the spooky season 🎃
(The title is from the french song that, for some reason, inspired me this drawing. If you wanna check it out: "Sans Coeur" by Shay and Niska)

Aleksandra Mirosław wins gold and Aleksandra Kałucka wins bronze in historic first speed climbing event at the Olympic Games 🥇🥉
#olympics#paris 2024#speed climbing#aleksandra miroslaw#aleksandra kalucka#aleksandra mirosław#aleksandra kałucka#team poland#moje#ok so fun facts#ola mirosław's gold medal was the first gold for poland at these olympics#she's beaten her own world record twice in paris#and ola kałucka has twin sister natalia who is also a speed climber#and missed the olympics because they could've only send two athletes per nation...#also the twins were premature babies and there were serious concerns that they wouldn't be able to walk nor see#fortunately they grew up healthy but ola is almost blind with her right eye and natalia with her left eye#but it doesn't seem to bother them in anyway while climbing#fingers crossed that natalia will go to the olympics next time!
