Chaplin included a couple of “in jokes” regarding Bessy in
Monsieur Verdoux (1947):
A real estate sign in front of Mr. Varnay’s house says “M. BESSY”.
His name also appears in one of the newspapers Charlie’s reading in the film (see the arrow).
Bessy was also one of the founders of Cinémonde magazine which also appears in the film (in the postman's bag).*
