Biography
French leading man Andre Dussolier was first seen by international filmgoers in a supporting role in Francois Truffaut's
Such a Gorgeous Kid Like Me (1973). Subsequent Dussolier appearances in Perceval Le Gaulois and L'Amour a Mort were not widely seen outside the borders of France, though there were the occasional exceptions, notably
Alain Resnais'
Melo (1984). The American-produced
Just the Way You Are (1984), filmed primarily at a French ski resort, allowed Dussolier a rare appearance in an English-speaking film, in support of
Kristy McNichol and
Michael Ontkean. The biggest moneymaker with which Andre Dussolier was aligned was 1987's
Three Men and a Cradle, which was subsequently remade by Hollywood as
Three Men and a Baby (1988), with
Ted Danson taking over the Dussolier role. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
