Allégret, Marc

Allégret, Marc
(December 23, 1900, Basle, Basel-Stadt, Switzerland-November 3, 1973 Paris, France)
   The son of a preacher and brother of future direc­tor Yves Allégret, he studied law at the Ecole des Sciences Politiques. From the age of seventeen, he admired writer André Gide, a friend and protector of his family who soon became his spiritual father. Thanks to Gide, he met the greatest artists and poets of his time (Picasso, Paul Valéry, Man Ray, Jean Coc­teau, Erik Satie, Saint-Exupéry, Joseph Kessel). When he accompanied Gide on his trip to Africa, he filmed the journey. After shooting several shorts, he became assistant director to Robert Florey (1932 LAmour chante, also production designer) and Augusto Genina. When Florey had to go to the USA without having time to finish Le Blanc et le Noir, he completed the movie. He is known as an actor's discoverer (Fern-andel, Simone Simon, Jean-Pierre Aumont, Jean-Louis Barrault, Gérard Philipe, Danièle Delorme, Brigitte Bardot, Jean-Paul Belmondo). He played a supporting part in a film directed by his former assistant Roger Vadim (1961 Et mourir de plaisir / Il sangue e la rosa / UK and USA: Blood and Roses; France / Italy).
