Sylvie and Johnny : Goodbye Kiss at Paris Le Bourget Airport

In November 1969, Johnny left for Egypt where he was supposed to stay for two months to appear in a movie whose filming stopped after two weeks. Sylvie accompanied him at Le Bourget airport...

Husband and wife, sad faced, even though they're used to this kind of separation, crossed the airport hall hand in hand like a young couple. Sylvie herself took care of getting Johnny a fewer papers and magazines to make his trip more enjoyable. Then, at the moment of boarding, the two lovers threw themselves into each other's arms, while Sylvie's cheeks covered themselves with a few tears that she tried in vain to hold back...
