[DUBOUT] - CINEMA - Marcel GUIBAUD(1921-1971, director) / Important autograph letter signed, 3 p in-4, (1950), to critic Max Favalelli, about his film "Rue sans Loi", a film adaptation of Albert Dubout's drawings (a comedy in which Louis de Funès plays a small role):He responds to a bad review, blaming Dubout for the film's poor results, recalling in his preamble that "Dubout once made two cartoons that were unsuccessful", he says he has seen the film a number of times in public, that "the silhouettes entertain for ten minutes", but it would have been necessary to energize the plot, but "Dubout was not keen to see a plot take precedence over his characters", Guibaud gives precise details of sequences in the film, and believes that only "De Funès came through, despite the incredible beard Dubout gave him", because he's such a great actor, "all the others feel that their characters are beyond a certain frontier", and quotes an anecdote: "My irritated assistant once replied to one of your colleagues who asked: what the hell is Dubout doing in this film? - He's putting suspenders in every corner".
