Vale Mag Bodard - a remarkable film producer

Mag Bodard and Jacques Demy

Thanks to Peter Hourigan for drawing attention to the death a day or two ago of Mag Bodard one of the most remarkable film producers of the 20^thcentury.

IMDb has her down as producer of 46 titles including, later in life, much television work. Among them are many landmark works of the cinema. She produced films by Jacques Demy, Agnes Varda, Robert Bresson, Alain Resnais, Andre Delvaux, Maurice Pialat, Claude Miller and many more. Her last credits were for a TV movie in 2006, when she was 91 years old. She died at the age of 103.
