Gérard Buhr
(COMÉDIENS)
68 Rue Damrémont, 75018 Paris, France
Multilingual actor with a physique like Kirk Douglas (according to Cinémonde), Gérard Buhr was destined for a varied and hard-hitting career in cinema, theatre and television. On the silver screen his performance as a pimp in Jean-Pierre Melville’s Bob le flambeur (1956) earned him rave reviews. The 1960s was a good decade for Buhr, taking the role of Marlon Brando’s partner in The Night of the Following Day (1969), and portraying Claus von Stauffenberg in The Night of the Generals (1966), with Peter O’Toole and Omar Sharif. In 1965, under the pseudonym of Victor Harter, he published Fleuve Noir, his first spy novel. He wrote about ten in this series, and also a number of pulp fiction noir novels. He could be seen in minor roles in blockbuster films, including appearances in A View to a Kill (1985) and The Day of the Jackal (1973). Regular visitors to this website won’t be surprised that he popped up in the TV cop series, Les cinq dernières minutes and Allô police. A badge of honour for all Montmartre thespians.

A bullet in the barrel is a French film directed by Michel Deville and Charles Gérard released in 1958 .

Two young “paras” back from Indochina, Tony and Dick, invest, in a club in Pigalle, the “Tip Tap”, the 25 million entrusted to them by “Le Maltais”. But the latter reappears and claims his money. Forced to sell, the two young people will be manipulated by “Pépère”, the former owner of the club, who will die tragically with Dick while Tony will be arrested for a murder he did not commit.
