On studio lots in the Golden Age of Hollywood, there were through-and-through American stars like James Stewart and Gary Cooper.  And then there were the continental types, of which Charles Boyer was a prime example.  Boyer — an unlikely star with a lasting legacy — was just French enough for American films. (Produced in 2008)
