6 Best Gérard Philipe Movies
By Vlad Zakh · February 5, 2026
Gerard Philipe became postwar France’s most beloved leading man, with youthful charisma and range that carried him from swashbuckling adventure to searing tragedy before his early death. Le Diable au Corps and Le Rouge et le Noir are among his best, Fanfan la Tulipe enlists a reckless soldier to escape a forced marriage, Les Grandes Manoeuvres bets a cavalry officer he can seduce any woman, and Les Liaisons Dangereuses stages a cruel game of seduction. La Chartreuse de Parme rounds out the list.
