Jules Berry

The second of the three sons of a hardware store from Poitiers nicknamed "President Berry" (in reference to a local historical figure), Jules Peaufichet was still a child when his family decided to settle in Paris. If he learned the piano, he was especially passionate very early on for dramatic art: high school student at Louis Legrand, he wrote then with his friend Paul Géraldy a one-act play, Le Biniou . A graduate in architecture at the Beaux-Arts, he considered, for a time, to enter orders. When he expresses his wish to become an actor to Georges Berr, member of the Comédie-Française, he discourages him from continuing in this direction.

One rainy day in 1903, while working as a clerk for an architect, he took shelter under the porch of the Antoine Theater. When he understands that it is a hearing day, he is a candidate. Hired (but fired after a few weeks), he soon played in other venues, such as L'Ambigu or L'Athénée. If he made a few appearances in silent films (Tirez please ... in 1908, Olivier Cromwell in 1911 or L'Argent by Marcel L'Herbier in 1928), he spent most of his time on boards, first in Brussels (from 1908 to 1920) then in the theaters of Parisian Boulevard.

From 1931 -and André Berthomieu's "Mon coeur et ses millions", his first talking film, Jules Berry continued to shoot. If the cinema does not allow him to give free rein to his talents as an improviser as much as the theater, the public is happy to find again on the screen his elegant silhouette, his sophisticated gestures and his beguiling smile. He also multiplies the roles of seducer, from Young girls to marry Josseline Gael - his third and last companion in the city - to the Thief of Women of Abel Gance (1938), and it does not matter if they are out of town. -loi, like Monsieur Person (in a 1936 film by Christian-Jaque) or Arsene Lupine detective (in front of Henri Diamant-Berger's camera in 1937).

Seen in The Man from London, the adaptation of Simenon's work by Henri Decoin, Jules Berry finds his most striking roles thanks to the pen of Jacques Prévert. He first co-signs the screenplay for Le Crime de Monsieur Lange by Jean Renoir (1935), a drama that heralds the Popular Front and in which Berry plays with relish a greedy and dishonest boss. On dialogues by the same Prévert, Jules Berry plays such a disreputable individual in Marcel Carné's Le Jour se lève in 1939: a sly dog ​​trainer who confronts Jean Gabin. The Carné-Prévert tandem went even further, but in a more dreamlike vein, by offering Jules Berry the role of the Devil himself in The Evening Visitors in 1942.

Partner of Raimu and Fernandel ("Ces petits riens", Les rois du sport) or Michel Simon (Le Mort en escape), Jules Berry has appeared in the cast of some 90 feature films, in just 20 years of career. But it is often for purely financial reasons that this inveterate player, accustomed to casinos and racetracks, agrees to shoot in films which are only too rarely up to his panache and his dandy charisma. He who had the honor of playing his own role in "The Assassin is Not Guilty" (1946) died sick and penniless in the spring of 1951.
