Purple Noon
FWIW, IMDB lists Purple Noon as 1960. Not sure if anyone knows differently.

Fair use rationale for Image:The-Queen-is-Dead-cover.png
Image:The-Queen-is-Dead-cover.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

In Soviet Union...
He was insanely popular in USSR... just wanted to say this.... there was even a very popular song by an soviet rock band about him "alain delon doesnt drink cologne; alain delon speaks french..." (in refference to a common occurance in russia of drinking cheap cologne, solvants, etc. when no alcohol was available) --KpoT (talk) 13:17, 29 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Well yes, he was popular in Europe. In countries of former Yugoslavia, there's a saying (still in use) for handsome people "Lep ko Delon" which translates to "Handsome like Delon"--90.157.251.7 (talk) 18:13, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

A portrait picture
Alain Delon is shown as of 2011 which is quite a different look form what he looked like when most of his films were shot. Anybody new/unfamiliar with an actor will probably not be able to get the idea of actor's "classic" appearance and might even not recognize him in most films. Therefore the suggestion is to replace a picture - there are so many absolutely great b/w portraits of this actor when he was most popular. I would do it but I'm not sure how to deal with rights issues.. If not the main picture then to display "classic" actor's picture in some section below.
 * I agree, the main picture should be a photo of him at the top of his career. For example, Lauren Bacall is also still alive, but a photo of her at the top of her career is shown as the main picture. J187B (talk) 03:20, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Eretz Nehederet
The Israeli satire show Eretz Nehederet introduced a running gag in the current season of an annoying, somewhat condescending fat man, screaming a few catchphrases at the television, among them, ‘Why, who da hell is he, Alain Delon?!’ The comic element is amplified by the fact that Delon is virtually unknown among Israelis, or at least was until this meme was created.
