In honour of his birthday
1. Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948) - the perfect cad. I still think about this film.
2. Octopussy (1983) - never regarded as a top level Bond villain but I thought he was good.
3. Gigi (1958) - so dodgy. Yet a good performance.
4. The Paradine Case (1948) - Hitchcock wanted Robert Newton but I thought Jourdan was fine.
5. Dangerous Exile (1958) a very fanatical hero for a swashbuckler
6. Three Coins in the Fountain (1954) - The American public didn't like heroic Jourdan but liked him in roles like this.
7. The Best of Everything (1959) - career girl stuff, he works well as one of an ensemble.
8. Julie (1956) - a great abusive spouse
9. Fear No Evil (1969) - I've got a memory of this being good. Vague. But it's there.
10. Man in the Iron Mask (1977) - effective as D'artagnan.
