René Clair
René Clair (11 November 1898 – 15 March 1981), born René-Lucien Chomette, was a French filmmaker and writer.

He went on to make some of the most innovative early sound films in France, before going abroad to work in the UK and USA for more than a decade.

He was elected to the Académie française in 1960.
