The mild-mannered Daniel Ceccaldi is famous as Claude Jade"s father Lucien Darbon in François Truffaut"s movies Stolen Kisses and Bed and Board. The American critic Bob Wade wrote about Ceccaldi in "Stolen Kisses": "Claude Jade"s parents are memorably played by Daniel Ceccaldi and Claire Duhamel. Ceccaldi’s role may represent the most pleasant and neurosis-free father in any movie of the era.
