Great Star. I did not hear "Gaslight" Movie with Joseph Cotton & Ingrid B. mentioned. It is a favorite of mine. Great documentary Many Thanks to the Narrator!
What a great actor, the classic Latin lead. I do a Charles impersonation that always gets a laugh, the one where Tom out of Tom and Jerry serenades his female cat.
One of my all time favorite actors. The narrator forgot to mention a later film success of Boyer's , the 1961 multi-Oscar nominated film "Fanny" with Leslie Caron. I can't help thinking of one of my favorite Boyer films "Mayerling" and how it foreshadowed his own tragic end. The (1936) film portrays the true story of Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria and his tragic love affair with a 17 year old Baroness. Very much like Romeo and Juliet, the lovers could not bare to be parted, so chose to commit suicide together at their country hide-a-way called "Mayerling". I hope that Charles, his wife and son rest peacefully and have found each other again, wherever they are.🌹
None of the stars are classic handsome. Gregory peck, Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwick, Humphrey Bogart, Lucille ball, Dezi Arnaz, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Bela Lugosi,-none of these old time stars were gorgeous in the classic sense but were all different some how. the same with stars today. Stars are always different somehow, always unusual.
Is a true man of good character ..loyalty. .devotion ...desiplined.. steadfast n true ..qualities of a great human being walking with God...I look up to him...
I can tell you why he magnetizes me: his voice and his warmth. there is something essentially warm and kind and charming about Charles. you can't help but fall in love with him. even in something like Gaslight, where he is objectively despicable, you try so hard to excuse his actions until it becomes painfully obvious you can't, which I think is one of the reasons why that movie works so well.
Fine actor, and by all accounts a good person, devoted husband and father, in private life. So many great classic films! But such a sad ending. His surname is frequently mispronounced by anglophones. Bwah-yeh would be closest to the correct French pronunciation (with equal accent on each syllable, not a big accent on the second one).
It's so refreshing to hear he was loyal to his wife until her sad passing. He was a great actor and star. Thank you for posting
I don’t think he magnetized women, rather he mesmerized them.
How so very sad to know this......but what a lovely man..
He was my favorite actor.

I loved Charles Boyer!

Well he and his wife never really lost each other being that he died not long after she did.
Not classic handsome but he had chrisima and charm. A great actor who had a tragic end. His voice was so beautiful.

What's classic handsome? Boyer was fine. That's all there is to it.

He was the inspiration for Pepe Le Pew from Looney Tunes. Trust me. I've seen them.

Adorable loved this actor so much and his films and tv work ❤️🇬🇧
U pronounce Boyer wrong at first
His secret besides that sexy French accent were his bedroom eyes.

French always has the accent on the second syllable actually. It's not equal.
@@tml184 Dissgree. Listen to a native speaker some time. Americans always think there is a humongous accent on the second or last syllable.
I don’t think he did much TV in the 1930s.
Does anyone else think Jude law could play him if they ever did a movie about Charles? 😂
No one, not possibly.
Great tribute to Charles Boyer thank you.
