==Final years== [[File:Maurice Chevalier 1968.jpg|thumb|Maurice Chevalier, 1968]] In the early 1960s, he toured the United States and between 1960 and 1963 made eight films, including [[Can-Can (film)|''Can-Can'']] (1960) with [[Frank Sinatra]].<ref name="Larkin50"/> In 1961, he starred in the drama [[Fanny (1961 film)|''Fanny'']] with [[Leslie Caron]] and [[Charles Boyer]], an updated version of [[Marcel Pagnol]]'s "Marseilles Trilogy".<ref name="Larkin50"/> In 1962, he filmed ''[[Panic Button (1964 film)|Panic Button]]'' (not released until 1964), playing opposite [[Jayne Mansfield]]. In 1965, at age 77, he made another world tour.<ref name="Larkin50"/> In 1967 he toured in [[Latin America]], again, the US, Europe and Canada, where he appeared as a special guest at [[Expo 67]].<ref>{{cite web | author=Canadian Culture Online Program | title=Expo 67 Man and His World Special Guests: Maurice Chevalier | work=[[Library and Archives Canada]] | url=https://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/expo/0533020402_e.html | access-date=November 23, 2019}}</ref> The following year, on October 1, 1968, he announced his farewell tour. Historical newsreel footage of Chevalier appeared in the 1969 [[Marcel Ophüls]] documentary ''[[The Sorrow and the Pity]]''. In a wartime short film near the end of the film's second part, he explained his disappearance during World War II, as rumors of his death lingered at that time, and he emphatically denied any collaboration with the Nazis. His theme song, "Sweepin' the Clouds Away", from the film ''[[Paramount on Parade]]'' (1930), was one of the film's theme songs and was played in the end credits of the second part. In 1970, two years after his retirement, songwriters [[Sherman Brothers|Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman]] convinced him to sing the title song of the Disney film ''[[The Aristocats]]'', which ended up being his final contribution to the film industry.
