Fantômas (1946 Film)
''Fantômas'' is a 1946 French crime film directed by Jean Sacha and starring Marcel Herrand, Simone Signoret and Alexandre Rignault. The context The film features the fictional master criminal Fantômas, created in 1911 by Marcel Allain and Pierre Souvestre. The tremendous popular success of the Fantômas novels led to the production of many films based on the series. A first series of 5 silent films was directed by Louis Feuillade from April 1913 to May 1914. An American version of the brilliant serial was produced in the early 1920s. Shortly after the advent of sound, Paul Fejos directed a feature-length ''Fantômas'' film which combined elements from the novels and several of Feuillade's films, together with "modernized" plot twists. Two remakes/updates of the Fantômas films were produced in France shortly after the end of World War II (''Fantômas'', 1946, directed by Jean Sacha, and ''Fantomas Against Fantomas'', 1949, directed by Robert Vernay). In the mid-1960s three fi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
