René Le Hénaff
René Le Hénaff (24 April 1901 – 5 January 2005) was a French film editor and director. As a film editor he collaborated with directors Marcel Carné, René Clair, and Géza von Radványi among others. His three films with Carné in the late 1930s — '' Port of Shadows'', '' Hôtel du Nord'', and ''Le Jour Se Lève'' — are widely admired examples of poetic realism. He also directed films from 1935 to 1950. Perhaps the best-known is '' Colonel Chabert'' (1943), which was a film adaptation of a famous novella by Honoré de Balzac.

Films Directed By René Le Hénaff
A film, also known as a movie or motion picture, is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, emotions, or atmosphere through the use of moving images that are generally, since the 1930s, synchronized with sound and (less commonly) other sensory stimulations. Etymology and alternative terms The name "film" originally referred to the thin layer of photochemical emulsion on the celluloid strip that used to be the actual medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. Many other terms exist for an individual motion-picture, including "picture", "picture show", "moving picture", "photoplay", and "flick". The most common term in the United States is "movie", while in Europe, "film" is preferred. Archaic terms include "animated pictures" and "animated photography". "Flick" is, in general a slang term, first recorded in 1926. It originates in the verb flicker, owing to the flickering appearance of early films. ...

Jean Clarieux
Jean Clarieux (April 3, 1911 – February 11, 1970) was a French film and television actor. Generally a supporting actor appearing in smaller parts, he played a more substantial role in René Clément's 1946 resistance film '' The Battle of the Rails''.Barker p.256 Biography His tone of voice as Parisian titi is very recognizable in many American films of the 1950s and 1960s where he lends his voice to complementary actors (especially in war films and westerns), but also to Anthony Quinn. He lends his voice to Captain Haddock in a cartoon series on the adventures of Tintin directed by Ray Goossens. Beyond the dubbing, his filmography is important: he notably plays a railwayman in ''La Bataille du rail'' by René Clément, and it is his weathered face that appears on the poster of the film. In '' Golden Helmet'' by Jacques Becker, he plays the role of Paul, alongside Raymond Bussières. He also acted for television in the 1960s, notably in the series ''Les Cinq Dernières Mi ...
