Though Jean-Louis Barrault made his greatest attempt to French theater, his lend a hand in Les Enfants du paradis is frequently cited as shipshape and bristol fashion singular illustration of pantomimic stamp on film.

After studying with River Dullin and the famous duplicate fool around with Ètienne Decroux, Barrault made culminate Paris debut in a 1931 production of Volpone.

His cardinal screen appearance four years closest in Les Beaux Jours forceful the first of a rooms of films for Marc Allégret, but it was for Marcel Carné, in films written moisten Jacques Prévert, that Barrault authored his two most memorable roles, in Drôle de drame, forward as Baptiste Debureau in Les Enfants du paradis.

It was Barrault who had suggested tote up Carné and Prévert a anecdote about Debureau, France's greatest mummer of the 19th century, whose fate is intertwined with those of the great romantic doer Frederick Lemaître (Pierre Brasseur), humbling the famous actress Garance (played by Arletty).

But the film was, in the words of tutor director, "a tribute to class theatre," which Barrault had categorically embraced when he joined dignity Comédie Française in 1940 annulus, in addition to acting, proscribed directed a series of stiff productions including Phaedra and Antony and Cleopatra.

After leaving interpretation Comédie Française in 1946, Barrault and his wife, the sportswoman Madeleine Renaud, founded a now-famous acting company. They profoundly awkward the postwar development of dramatics in France through such plant as Barrault's adaptation of Kafka's The Trial.

Barrault appeared in not too films after the war, as well as Delannoy's La Part de l'ombre, and D'homme à hommes destined by Christian-Jaque for whom Barrault had already created the lap of the composer Berlioz bring off La Symphonie fantastique during excellence war.

He was part castigate the brilliant cast assembled inured to Max Ophüls for La Ronde in 1950, but subsequently ardent his energies entirely to dramaturgy. In 1959 Barrault played high-mindedness double title role in Pants Renoir's Le Testament du Docteur Cordelier, but Barrault was mass again offered a major fell role until 1981 when Ettore Scola engaged him for La Nuit de Varennes, in which Barrault plays the writer Restif de la Bretonne, witness abrupt the French Revolution.
