Biography

Passionné par le théâtre, Claude Bertrand s’inscrit au Conservatoire national d’art dramatique de Paris. En 1946, il commence par faire de la figuration au théâtre du Vieux Colombier avant de faire ses débuts au cinéma en 1948 dans Le Secret de Mayerling de Jean Delannoy. À la télévision, il participe à des pièces de l'émission Au théâtre ce soir de Pierre Sabbagh, comme Arsenic et vieilles dentelles en 1971, et à de nombreux épisodes des Cinq Dernières Minutes.

Mais c'est surtout grâce au doublage qu'il acquiert une grande notoriété : il prête ainsi sa voix à de nombreux acteurs dans les années 1960 et 1970, parmi lesquels Roger Moore, Charles Bronson, John Wayne mais aussi Eli Wallach (dans Le Bon, la Brute et le Truand), Bud Spencer, Burt Lancaster ou Eddie Albert (dans la série Switch).

Il participe aussi au doublage de plusieurs dessins animés, dont plusieurs productions Disney : Le Livre de la jungle (Baloo), Les Aristochats (Thomas O'Malley), Robin des Bois (Petit-Jean). Il est la voix du capitaine Haddock dans les adaptations au cinéma des Aventures de Tintin, Banta dans Goldorak ou encore le docteur Zero dans Albator, le corsaire de l'espace.
Il est à noter que pour des acteurs tels que Bud Spencer ou Burt Lancaster, Claude gardait sa voix grave et lourde, et quand il s'agissait de Roger Moore, il lui donnait une voix plus douce, avec un style gentleman anglais.

En 1979, Claude Bertrand ralentit ses activités et s’installe à Bessèges (Gard). Il ne délaisse pas pour autant les doublages, faisant régulièrement des remontées à Paris. Il meurt le 14 décembre 1986 des suites d'un cancer, à l'âge de 67 ans.

According to Adams' Lapine language, culture and mythology, the world was created by the god Frith, who represents the Sun. All animals lived harmoniously, but the rabbits eventually multiplied, and their appetite led to a food shortage. At the prayers of the desperate animals, Frith warned the rabbit prince El-ahrairah to control his people, but was scoffed at. In retaliation, Frith gave special gifts to every animal, but some animals he made predators to prey upon the rabbits. Satisfied that El-ahrairah (Now also known as "Prince with a Thousand Enemies") had learned his lesson, Frith also gave the rabbits speed and cunning; while many would seek to kill them, the rabbits could survive by their wits and quickness.

Frédéric (Bernard Verley), a young, successful lawyer, is happily married to Hélène (Françoise Verley), an English teacher, and father to one child with another on the way. Still, something eats away at him. While going through his day, Frédéric begins to ponder the times before he was married, when he was free to be with any woman he wanted and could feel the deep satisfaction of anticipation while he chased them. At one point in the film, he has an elaborate fantasy where he possesses a magical amulet that causes all women to bow to his will (the sequence features actresses from previous "Moral Tales"). These thoughts do not distress Frédéric though, as he sees these ideas as a reflection of how true his love to his wife is.

In Paris in 1910, mother cat Duchess and her three kittens, Marie, Berlioz, and Toulouse, live with retired opera diva Madame Adelaide Bonfamille, and her English butler, Edgar. While preparing her will with lawyer Georges Hautecourt, Madame declares her fortune to be left to her cats until their deaths, and thereafter to Edgar. Edgar hears this through a speaking tube, and plots to eliminate the cats. Therefore, he sedates the cats by sleeping pills in their food, and enters the countryside to abandon them. There, he is ambushed by two hounds, named Napoleon and Lafayette, and the cats are stranded in the countryside, while Madame Adelaide, Roquefort the mouse, and Frou-Frou the horse discover their absence. In the morning, Duchess meets an alley cat named Thomas O'Malley, who offers to guide her and the kittens to Paris. The group briefly hitchhike in a milk cart before being chased off by the driver. Later, while crossing a railroad trestle, the cats narrowly avoid an oncoming train, but Marie falls into a river and is saved by O'Malley; himself rescued by two English geese, Amelia and Abigail Gabble, who accompany the cats to Paris. Edgar returns to the country to retrieve his possessions from Napoleon and Lafayette, as the only evidence that could incriminate him.
