Talk:Yves Montand

message: I've deleted the references to Jewishness. His ex wife Simone Signoret had a Jewish father and his last name (actually a commonn gentile Italian last name) may ressemble the Jewish one Levi/Levy but he himself had no Jewish roots.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.125.253.138 (talk) 03:49, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

message: *I recall (I was watching) that he performed during the initial Telstar broadcast.  This makes him the first entertainer to perform via satellite.  At the time this was a source of great French pride because the English were not prepared to broadcast.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobcrunch (talk • contribs) 12:02, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Can't see any sources in this article. Nor can I find any reference other than this article that Catherine Allegret alleged that he abused her 'from the age of five', so I've deleted it for now. By all means restore it, but it would be nice to have something more substantial than the ISB number of her autobiography.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.136.52.196 (talk) 16:54, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pedophilia allegations 

message: *This article says that Montand performed "recognizably crooner songs that became instant classics, especially about Paris" or something along those lines. There is NO mention of any genres he performed in and I would like to see more elaboration on what he sang. Thanks.--78.86.26.236 (talk) 09:51, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there any source other than subjective opinion that Pépé le Pew is based on Montand?  He is generally considered to be based on Charles Boyer (more stereotypically a "great lovair"), and specifically the character name Pépé le Moko from "Algiers" (and Jean Gabin's French original "Pépé le Moko"). I understand the reference is to the French version of Pépé le Pew, but the question still stands. Winter Maiden (talk) 15:03, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I've edited this, for accuracy. This allegation seems to have come and gone over the years; it's been deleted a couple of times (in February 2006, and again in October 2010), and the latest change (here) sought to shift the blame to her natural father, Yves Allegret (which I've reverted). OTOH the claim in the source given ( by Charles Bremner at the Irish Independent) goes further than the claim in Allegret's book (as the Psychologie interview shows); so I have fixed the text here accordingly.

thread_title:  Abuse allegation, again 

message: A credit for a cameo appearance in Kelly's Heroes was deleted as "erroneous" and a note in bold type added, saying "Actor David Gross is often mistaken for Montand as the German officer in Kelly's Heroes, as Gross resembles Montand, who is not in the film". I don't know about "often", or about the resemblance, but the note is a bit too in-your-face to stay. So I have deleted it, and replaced the credit as an edit note.
According to the IMDb cast page, there are four German officer characters: Colonel Dankhof (this guy) is the one played by David Gross (the bloke with the info on the gold at the beginning). The others are, the tank commander (Karl-Otto Alberty:  this guy, at the end); a German Lieutenant (John Heller, (here) the officer at the minefield ambush, I think) and a Sturmbannfuehrer (Montand, allegedly, here). However, as IMDb is no more reliable as a source than WP, and the only other place it's suggested is  this speculative website, I've asked for a reliable source before we can justify putting it back in the text.

message: A 70s film by Costa Gavras that Montand starred in that I don’t see listed in the filmography. It’s an excellent movie about a Stalinist purge in Czechoslovakia in the early 50s. 2604:2D80:ED08:A00:D474:BCCC:7A38:20CE (talk) 10:54, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
