I got so inspired by Fahrenheit 451 yesterday and went searching for Jules et Jim in our film collection. My stepfather keeps nagging me about it as it is his favorite film ever. After I saw it I can just agree, it is pure magic. My favorite of the three François Truffaut I've seen which now is Fahrenheit 451, Jules et Jim and The 400 Blows. I remember that our teacher said that there is a standard question in cinema, are you a Godard or a Truffaut person. Then I claimed that I was a Godard but I'm not so sure anymore.
And yes it is the same actor as in Farenheit 451, Oskar Werner is his name. Find a way to see it people!
