Robert Vidalin as Camille Desmoulins.

Thanks for voting in Best Camille poll. Napoleon swept in the early going, but LRF made a late surge. Since it was so close, a runoff will be held.

I found Camille is engaged with music in some French Revolution movies made in early 20th century.

In Danton (1921), he sings a song with a guitar that mock Robespierre and Saint-Just, and gets the crowd erupting.

In Napoléon (1927), he was the first to realize how great "La Marseillaise" was. He read the score and found the song to be wonderful.

(with the composer Rouget de Lisle)

In Danton (1931), he performs an original song to celebrate Danton's marriage. This Camille (looks rather like Fabre d'Églantine) is a most devoted friend and I was angry with Danton for almost neglecting him during the film. Far different from the outrageous spoiled brat in Danton (1983). This is an early talkie, so perhaps it was challenging attempt to include a singing scene.

As a result of the final vote, Napoléon (1927) played by Robert Vidalin is chosen as the best Camille Desmoulins of frevblr. Congratulations!
