    I wonder if he'll get buried in a glass box?

    And he was so unfunny.

    Back to Marcel, I hear the family have asked for a quiet funeral.

    While fighting in Normandy he was captured by the Germans but they couldn't get him to talk.


    On a serious point I didn't know much about the guy until I saw he had died. He fled France to avoid the Nazis, was with the Free French, presumably in London/England and was liason officer with Patton after D-Day. He also lost his father, a Kosher butcher, in the camps. He took up dance and mime after the war. Respect as the younf people say.

    I feel sorry for his wife. Apparently he's been giving her the silent treatment for the past 62 years......

    That's the problem with his type. All action and no mouth.
