from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roger Gustave Richebé (born December 3, 1897 in Marseille , France , † July 10, 1989 in Ville-d'Avray ) was a French film producer, director, distributor and screenwriter.

Live and act

Richebé entered the film industry in 1917 through his father. First he worked in the rental business, then also in film production. In 1930, at the beginning of the talkie age, Richebé and Pierre Braunberger founded a joint production company that lasted three years. Their output also included, for example, Jean Renoir's production La chienne (1931). Roger Richebé then worked with director Marcel Pagnol for a few years .

In 1934 he founded his own production company. Parallel to his work as a producer, Roger Richebé began directing films. "His output in both professions was of a conventional nature, strictly oriented towards the taste of the audience." In 1959 he appeared as a technical consultant and co-screenwriter for Abel Gance's Napoleon film Austerlitz - Shine of an Imperial Crown . It would be his last cinematic activity. In 1977 Roger Richebé published his memoir.
