Biography: life and films

Comedy has and will always be one of the mainstays of French cinema, thanks in part to France's abundance of superb comedy performers. In film, the greatest French comic actor of them all is Louis de Funès, the star of some of France's most successful screen comedies and a popular cultural icon.
