The Frenchman: Philippe Halsman: A Photographic Interview with Fernandel

When photographer Philippe Halsman met French movie star Fernandel, he struck upon a genius idea. If Fernandel spoke no English, but possessed one of the most expressive faces he had encountered, why not run an interview with him in which faces, not words, determined every answer. Through furrowed brows and twinkling eyes, stony stares and suggestive glances, this TASCHEN reprint revives a completely original photographic experiment and one of the funniest interviews ever conducted.
