Georges Lautner

Georges Lautner was born in Nice on 24 January 1926, the son of the actress Renée Saint-Cyr. He came to cinema young and served his apprenticeship as an assistant director in the fifties, before moving into directing himself. He owes most of his reputation to the comedies he made with the dialogue writer Michel Audiard, one of whose most faithful partners he was. He died on 22 November 2013, aged eighty-seven.
