Jean-Louis Barrault - Children of Paradise [Les Enfants du Paradis]
We’d probably call Barrault’s character a mime in the US, but he’s a Pierrot clown, and a US circus clown is referred to by the same word.
Interesting no women examples, since IRL, most working clowns (professional & amateur) are women.

Yes this is a very deep cut but she is the only female janitor I could find. A fair number of cleaning ladies or maids, but no stand alone, wandering the school halls with a garbage can and a mop janitors.

Let’s get this category done! Sanitation workers in the US are almost 20% women, and the number keeps rising due to active recruitment, but I could not find a single non-documentary US film with a woman sanitation worker. I did find a Brazilian one called Long Way Home from 2018. Grace Passô plays the lead.
