Hello Bruce,
I don’t remember the actor the name and the façe but I remember Harry and Tonto.
For two reasons, first the oscars and at that time the competitors were so greats name, that was a great surprise but in the main time in France this film got a great succès because the story, à sort of special relation between a cat and an old man.
The second reasons is at that time, I was at the university and my English teacher love so much that film that she was speaking about it a lot of time, that why with others students every week someone of us go to see this film just to speak about it and not to have the classic class With the interrogations THE home work etc….
And we speak of Harry and Tonto several weeks and it was so fun because my English teacher was very very falling in love with Harry and Tonto and us we were laughing a lot with her.
Good day
Pierre
