Shri Nathji and HH
Priya Nathji watched a French film, ‘Boomerang’, in the big room of their
Saryodya Enclave house on TV, in which the dashing, handsome hero had an
uncanny resemblance to HH Pran Nathji .
Both Shri Nathji and HH Priya Nathji observed this.
Shri Nathji asked HH Priya Nathji to call Mangla inside and to show her
the actor in the movie. She too was struck with the uncanny resemblance. (HH Pran Nathji's photos are on top and actor Alain Delon's photo is on the right. The resemblance in indeed striking.)
The movie which Shri
Nathji saw was a 1976 French film Boomerang - Comme un boomerang (original
title). It was directed by: José Giovanni. Screenwriter was José Giovanni. It
stared Alain Delon, Charles Vanel, Suzanne Flon, and Monique Chaumette. Its
running time: 1 h 40 min. The movie is about, a teenager, Eddy who kills a policeman, under the influence of
drugs. His father, Jacques, pleads extenuating circumstances and nearly
succeeds in gaining the confidence of the policeman's widow. But the press
reveals that Jacques is an ex-gangster who has spent time in prison.

Alain Delon who was
the hero of the movie has an uncanny resemblance to HH Pran Nathji. The
magnetic Alain Delon was among the most prominent French actors of the postwar
era; an exotically handsome performer, he sprung from offscreen rumor and
scandal to emerge as a uniquely enigmatic and sinister talent. Born November 8,
1935, in Sceaux, France, Delon spent his formative years primarily in the care
of foster parents. He later was sent away to a series of boarding schools, and
at the age of 17, he joined the marines, serving as a parachutist in
Indo-China. Upon his discharge, Delon returned to Marseilles and struck up a
friendship with aspiring actor Jean-Claude Brialy, who invited him to attend
the 1957 Cannes Film Festival.
There Delon's delicate good looks won him a
number of movie offers, including a rumored seven-year deal with David O.
Selznick. In the end, he accepted a small role in the Edwige Feuillere film Quand
la Femme S'en Mele, followed by an appearance in 1957's Sois Belle Et Tais-Toi.
Delon spent much of the 1970s as France's biggest star. Monsieur Klein (1976),
directed by Joseph Losey, won a Cesar as the year's best picture, and thrillers
like 1977's Comme Un Boomerang and Le Gang continued to perform extremely well
at the box office. He also acted in some Hollywood films like the star-studded
Airport '79:
