Two other great stoics who come to mind are Jean Gabin and Humphrey Bogart. Both were at their best when concealing their emotions and playing it cool. Robert Mitchum was also good at this; I'm thinking especially of "Out of the Past." "Piano Player" seems to be the Truffaut film most influenced by the American noirs of the 40's, so it is perhaps not surprising that his hero so closely resembles the heroes of those movies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
