Christian-Jaque

▪ French director
original name  Christian-Albert-François Maudet 
born Sept. 4, 1904, Paris, France
died July 8, 1994, Paris

      one of the most commercially successful and prolific French motion-picture directors, who was able to depict both drama and comedy effectively.

      Christian-Jaque was educated at the School of Fine Arts and the School of Decorative Arts, both in Paris. He started his career as a journalist and film critic and in 1926 entered the film industry as a poster designer. (His professional name derived from his own name and that of a collaborator, Jaque, in the poster-design business.) Later he became a set director and then an assistant film director. He directed more than two dozen films before Les Disparus de Saint-Agil (1938; “The Missing Soldiers of Saint-Agil”) brought him public notice. Continuing to work during World War II, he directed L'Assassinat de Père Noël (1941; The Murder of Father Christmas), La Symphonie fantastique (1942), Carmen (1943), and Boule de suif (1945; “Ball of Fat”; English title Angel and Sinner).

      In the early 1950s Christian-Jaque's name became internationally known for his comedy Fanfan la tulipe (1951; Fanfan the Tulip), which earned him a best director award at the 1952 Cannes International Film Festival, Adorables Créatures (1952; Adorable Creatures), Madame Du Barry (1954), and Nana (1955). His later films include Madame Sans-Gêne (1961), Lady Hamilton—Zwischen Schmach und Liebe (1968; “Lady Hamilton—Between Shame and Love”; The Making of a Lady), and Docteur Justice (1975; Dr. Justice).
