Gino Cervi
DON CAMILLO - (Julien Duvivier, 1952)
The film (one of the greatest popular successes of Italian cinema ever) is based on the novel "Mondo piccolo" by Giovanni Guareschi; set in Brescello, in Emilia, it narrates the endless clashes between the local parish priest and the communist mayor of the town, clashes that always end in a compromise between the two litigants. The characters of Don Camillo (Fernandel) and Peppone (Gino Cervi) became immediately popular, signifying that the public of that post-war period found in them what they yearned for more than anything else, that is: "the widespread need throughout Europe to recover the coordinates of a simple life and stable and well-recognizable values" (Brunetta). Entertaining, amusing comedy if, irremediably, dated.

Luigi Cervi - 1901-1974
Italian actor Gino Cervi joins that grand pantheon of actors who played Maigret.
I know nothing else about this handsome man, and I've never seen him playing Maigret. He portrayed him with a moustache (and Simenon never specified whether Maigret had one or not). Pipe and moustache - a heady combination.
He does put me in mind a little of Michel Galabru (who I've posted before and will do again).
It's worth committing a crime just to get arrested by him.
Since everyone knows this legendary pics, I decided that I need to draw some characters like this:
Namely Don Camillo and Peppone, because I'm still not over them lol
