Frank Sinatra on the set of the film "Kings Go Forth" in the village of Tourette-sur-Loup, 1957. Sinatra needed an old lady to partner him in this scene. The villager Marie Isnard, who had never been to the cinema in her life, learned her lines and got through the dialogue very successfully. Sinatra's lines were: "Vive General de Gaulle, Vive les Folies-Bergère", about the only French he knew.
On the set of the film "Kings Go Forth" in the village of Tourette-sur-Loup in 1957, Frank Sinatra, in costume as a helmeted soldier, accepts a drink from Marie Isnard. A local villager who had never been to the cinema, Isnard was cast on the spot for the role. As a column of soldiers marches through the street, she offers the smiling Sinatra a small glass of dark liquid from a large bottle. Other actors and local extras, including a grinning soldier and a crowd on a nearby embankment, complete the staged scene of liberation.
