Andr\u00e9 Raimbourg<\/b>, dit Bourvil<\/b>, est n\u00e9 le 27 juillet 1917 \u00e0 Pr\u00e9tot-Vicquemare (Seine-Maritime) et mort le 23 septembre 1970 \u00e0 Paris.<\/p>\n

Du music-hall au cin\u00e9ma<\/h3>\n

Apr\u00e8s une enfance en Normandie et divers petits m\u00e9tiers, il d\u00e9bute au cabaret et dans le music-hall avec son personnage du \u00ab comique paysan \u00bb<\/b>, na\u00eff et touchant. C’est avec la chanson La Tactique du gendarme<\/i> qu’il se fait conna\u00eetre du grand public.<\/p>\n

Sa carri\u00e8re au cin\u00e9ma d\u00e9colle apr\u00e8s la Second Guerre mondiale. S’il commence par des com\u00e9dies populaires l\u00e9g\u00e8res, il r\u00e9v\u00e8le tr\u00e8s vite une grande profondeur dramatique et une polyvalence exceptionnelle.<\/p>\n

Les r\u00f4les marquants<\/h3>\n

    Les com\u00e9dies cultes avec Louis de Fun\u00e8s :<\/b> Le Corniaud<\/i> (1965) et La Grande Vadrouille<\/i> (1966), r\u00e9alis\u00e9s par G\u00e9rard Oury, battent tous les records d’entr\u00e9es au cin\u00e9ma fran\u00e7ais.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Les registres dramatiques :<\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      La Travers\u00e9e de Paris<\/i> (1956) d’Claude Autant-Lara, aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de Jean Gabin (prix d’interpr\u00e9tation \u00e0 la Mostra de Venise).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Les Mis\u00e9rables<\/i> (1958), o\u00f9 il incarne un Th\u00e9nardier sombre et odieux.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Le Cercle rouge<\/i> (1970) de Jean-Pierre Melville, son dernier film majeur, dans le r\u00f4le du commissaire Mattei.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      H\u00e9ritage<\/h3>\n

      Atteint du syndrome de Kahler (un cancer des os) d\u00e9cel\u00e9 en 1967, Bourvil continue de tourner jusqu’\u00e0 la fin de sa vie malgr\u00e9 de terribles souffrances.<\/p>\n

      Il laisse l’image d’un artiste complet \u2014 acteur, chanteur et humoriste \u2014 profond\u00e9ment aim\u00e9 du public pour sa gentillesse, son humilit\u00e9 et sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 faire passer le rire aux larmes.<\/p>\n

      Parall\u00e8lement \u00e0 sa carri\u00e8re d’acteur, Bourvil a men\u00e9 une tr\u00e8s riche carri\u00e8re musicale avec plus de 300 chansons enregistr\u00e9es. Il d\u00e9bute dans les ann\u00e9es 1930 comme trompettiste amateur et chanteur de cabaret, avant de cr\u00e9er son c\u00e9l\u00e8bre personnage de \u00ab comique paysan \u00bb arm\u00e9 d’un accord\u00e9on et d’une voix faussement na\u00efve.<\/p>\n

      Sa musique alterne entre chansons humoristiques, airs d’op\u00e9rettes et m\u00e9lodies po\u00e9tiques plus m\u00e9lancoliques.<\/p>\n

      Les grands succ\u00e8s humoristiques et populaires<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • \n

        \u00ab La Tactique du gendarme \u00bb (1949) :<\/b> Tir\u00e9e du film Le Roi Pandore<\/i>, c’est la chanson qui assoit d\u00e9finitivement sa notori\u00e9t\u00e9 nationale avec son d\u00e9bit saccad\u00e9 et son comique d’observation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        \u00ab Les Crayon de couleur \u00bb (1945) :<\/b> Son tout premier grand succ\u00e8s populaire, \u00e9crit sous forme de monologue comique.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        \u00ab Salade de fruits \u00bb (1959) :<\/b> Un refrain latino-chanson sautillant et incontournable qui devient l’un des plus grands succ\u00e8s de vente des ann\u00e9es 1950.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        \u00ab Pouet-Pouet \u00bb (1956) :<\/b> Reprise d’un succ\u00e8s des ann\u00e9es 1920 qu’il remet au go\u00fbt du jour.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        • \n

          \u00ab La Tendresse \u00bb (1963) :<\/b> Compos\u00e9e par Hubert Giraud, c’est son chef-d’\u0153uvre musical. Un texte d’une grande humanit\u00e9 devenu un classique absolu du r\u00e9pertoire fran\u00e7ais, repris par de nombreux artistes (Marie Lafor\u00eat, Maurane, Trio…).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          \u00ab Un clair de lune \u00e0 Maubeuge \u00bb (1962) :<\/b> Une chanson fantaisiste et po\u00e9tique \u00e9crite par Pierre Perrin, devenue une ritournelle culte.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          \u00ab C’\u00e9tait bien \u00bb \/ \u00ab Le Petit Bal perdu \u00bb (1961) :<\/b> Une valse nostalgique embl\u00e9matique de la chanson fran\u00e7aise d’apr\u00e8s-guerre.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          L’op\u00e9rette et les duos<\/h3>\n

          Bourvil a \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 la vedette de plusieurs op\u00e9rettes \u00e0 grand succ\u00e8s sur sc\u00e8ne, notamment au Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Ch\u00e2telet :<\/p>\n

            \n
          • \n

            \u00ab La Route fleurie \u00bb (1952) :<\/b> Aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de Georges Gu\u00e9tary et Annie Cordy, o\u00f9 il interpr\u00e8te notamment Avoir un bon copain<\/i>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            \u00ab Pacific \u00bb (1950)<\/b> et \u00ab Visa pour l’amour \u00bb (1961)<\/b>.<\/p>\n

            \u00c9crite en <\/span>1963<\/span><\/b>, la chanson <\/span>La Tendresse<\/span><\/i> marque un tournant majeur dans la carri\u00e8re de Bourvil.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Une rencontre entre deux cr\u00e9ateurs<\/span><\/h3>\n

            Contrairement \u00e0 ce que l’on pense souvent, Bourvil n’a ni \u00e9crit ni compos\u00e9 ce titre :<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            • \n

              Le texte :<\/span><\/b> Il est sign\u00e9 par le parolier <\/span>No\u00ebl Roux<\/span><\/b>, qui a su traduire avec une grande simplicit\u00e9 des sentiments d’une profonde humanit\u00e9 (\u00ab On peut vivre sans richesse, presque sans le sou… Mais vivre sans tendresse, on ne le pourrait pas \u00bb).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              La musique :<\/span><\/b> Elle est compos\u00e9e par <\/span>Hubert Giraud<\/span><\/b>, c\u00e9l\u00e8bre compositeur de la chanson fran\u00e7aise (<\/span>Mambo Italiano<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Sous le ciel de Paris<\/span><\/i>).<\/span> Il imagine une m\u00e9lodie \u00e0 trois temps, proche de la valse m\u00e9lancolique, port\u00e9e par un ton mineur \u00e0 la fois doux et nostalgique.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Un contre-pied \u00e0 l’image comique<\/h3>\n

              En 1963, Bourvil est l’une des plus grandes vedettes de France, mais le public l’associe principalement \u00e0 ses chansons fantaisistes (Salade de fruits<\/i>, La Tactique du gendarme<\/i>).<\/p>\n

              Lorsqu’il enregistre <\/span>La Tendresse<\/span><\/i>, il impose une interpr\u00e9tation d\u00e9pouill\u00e9e, presque parl\u00e9e et d\u00e9nu\u00e9e de tout artifice.<\/span> Sa voix fragile, empreinte d’une sinc\u00e9rit\u00e9 poignante, donne toute sa force au texte.<\/span> La chanson devient imm\u00e9diatement un immense succ\u00e8s et r\u00e9v\u00e8le un visage plus grave, pudique et \u00e9mouvant de l’artiste.<\/span><\/p>\n
