Georges Lautner, a French film director and screenwriter of great renown, entered this world on January 24, 1926, and departed it on November 22, 2013. Throughout his illustrious career, he has made a lasting impact on the world of cinema, with his most notable achievements coming in the realm of comedy. Lautner's impressive body of work has been marked by his fruitful collaborations with the highly respected screenwriter Michel Audiard, with whom he has shared a long and successful creative partnership.
Notwithstanding the diverse range of genres that Lautner explored throughout his extensive career, not all of his cinematic endeavors yielded the same magnitude of success as his comedies, which had become a hallmark of his body of work. Nevertheless, his foray into the thriller genre, specifically the 1981 film Le Professionnel, starring the renowned French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo, proved to be a resounding commercial triumph in France, garnering widespread acclaim and box office success.
The renowned architect and designer, John Lautner, was fortunate enough to have been born in the picturesque city of Nice, France, which is situated on the southeastern coast of the country.
