Jouvet, Louis
(December 24, 1887, Crozon,
   Finistère, France - August 16, 1951, Paris, France)
   One of the major figures of French theater, he made his stage debut as an actor in 1910. In 1914, Jacques Copeau hired him, and he joined the Théâtre du Vieux Colombier, where he directed his first play in 1923 (Monsieur Le Trouhadec saisi par la Débauche, Jules Romains). He was successively manager of the Comédie des Champs-Elysées and the Théâtre de l'Athénée. He made his first film appearance in 1913 (Shylock, Henri Desfontaines) and remained far from the studios for almost twenty years. From 1932 (To­paze, Louis Gasnier) to 1951 (Knock / UK and USA: Dr. Knock), he starred in about thirty movies, including the one he co-directed.
