As an actress, Jeanne Moreau is like a fata morgana: you know it's not there, but you sure want to believe so. Make-believe was her trade, and she mastered it in films like Jules et Jim, Les Valseuses and Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud - although I must say I liked the soundtrack to the latter better than the movie itself. The daughter of a chorus girl, Moreau was a leading actress at the Théâtre Nationale Populaire before she made her name in movies. She had acted regularly in movies since 1948, but she was thirty before the Nouvelle Vague found a proper use for her, or saw that she was deeply attractive and animated. She is an icon of the sixties, thanks to Truffaut and Malle. And ofcourse, she sang. With Brigitte Bardot for instance, in the movie Viva Maria. And with Yves Duteil, in a beautiful duet.'
