Biography: life and films
More than thirty years after his death, Bourvil remains one of the most enduringly popular of entertainers in France. His endearing comic performances are preserved for posterity on film whilst numerous recordings of his songs and monologues will also ensure that his name is kept alive for generations to come. This multi-talented, multi-faceted individual, admired for his humanity and his humility, was blessed with a natural flair for comedy, a gentle, unique brand of comedy that appeals to all classes and all generations.His origins were very humble. He was born in 1917, in Pretot-Vicquemare, France, his true name being André Raimbourg. After his father was killed in active service during the First World War, his family moved to the Normandy town of Bourville (from which he would later derive his stage name). Although he was a promising scholar, he was somewhat undisciplined and had a penchant for tomfoolery. He left school at 15 to work in a patisserie.
From an early age, Raimbourg showed a passion for entertaining people and performing music
