Career Joannon first attracted international attention in early 1939 during the production of ''S.O.S.

These images are generally accompanied by sound and, more rarely, other sensory stimulations.

André Cayatte
André Cayatte (3 February 1909, in Carcassonne – 6 February 1989, in Paris) was a French filmmaker, writer and lawyer, who became known for his films centering on themes of crime, justice, and moral responsibility. Cayatte began his directoral career at the German-controlled Continental Films during the French occupation. Some of Cayatte's earlier films that addressed his characteristic themes include ''Justice est faite'' (''Justice is Done''; 1950), ''Nous sommes tous des assassins'' (''We Are All Murderers''; 1952), and ''Le passage du Rhin'' ('' Tomorrow Is My Turn''; 1960). In 1963, he undertook a bold experiment in film narrative with a set of two films: ''Jean-Marc ou La vie conjugale'' (''Anatomy of a Marriage: My Days with Jean-Marc'') and ''Françoise ou La vie conjugale'' (''Anatomy of a Marriage: My Days with Françoise''). These two films tell the same story from two different points of view. His 1973 film, '' Il n'y a pas de fumée sans feu'', won the Silver Be ...
