Jean Delannoy began his film career in the 1920s as an actor. By the 1930s he had switched careers and become an editor, then a short-subjects director. By the mid-'30s he was a full-fledged director, and soon garnered a reputation as a sensitive, understated craftsman with a thorough command of the medium. By the 1950s, however, he was doing overheated melodramas and overblown epics, including a particularly undistinguished version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Notre-Dame de Paris (1956)), and he was soon reduced to churning out such drivel as Le soleil des voyous (1967) (US title: "Action Man") and Le lit à deux places (1965) (US title: "The Double Bed").
