It was another beautiful sunny and sandaly day in Edinburght today. The warm weather is suppose to last until Wednesday when we happen to be flying to Poland (where it is +10 degrees at the moment). As we are affraid that it might be the first and the last breath of summer in Scotland therefore we decided to spend most of the day outside. We wandered around New Town visiting our favourite coffee hang outs (btw: the waitresses in Patisserie Florentin are all Polish too! Are we Poles such francophiles or what? All the staff at Cafe Rouge were also from Poland!).
In one of the little streets we decided to visit a nice surprise awaited us - a French film crew was filming a 60s comedy with Lambert Wilson - we got suck at the pub when they were shooting a retake after retake desperately trying to cool the French star trapped in his elegant suit between takes. Poor thing - he must have been boiling in these clothes! A nice man from the production team popped into the pub to prevent people inside from coming too close to the pub's windows and we chatted for a while about the film. When he went out a moment later monsieur Wilson waved to us from the street, obviously he was told that there was his fan inside!
I am not a kind of person who would pester favourite actors for a photo or an autograph so we quckly sneaked out of the pub at the first opportunity (I think it must have been after at least a 12th retake as it was the final scene of the film being shot). Mr Wilson was just having his well deserved cigarette while assisstants were trying to cool him off. And who would have thought - a French film star AND in need to cool down in Edinburgh!
The film is out in 2010.
