Georges Lautner
Georges Lautner (24 January 1926 – 22 November 2013) was a French film director and screenwriter, known primarily for his comedies created in collaboration with screenwriter Michel Audiard.
Lautner's ventures into other genres were less successful though the thriller Le Professionnel starring Jean-Paul Belmondo was a big commercial hit in France in 1981.
Lautner was born in Nice, France, the son of actress Renée Saint-Cyr and a Viennese aviator and jeweler. Renée Saint-Cyr later appeared in eleven of her Lautner's films.
Lautner, at the age of seven, traveled to Paris when Saint-Cyr began her film career, and there he discovered cinema. Lautner eventually left school and landed jobs at French film studios.
Lautner became a film director after serving in an assistant director apprenticeship.
The 1990 thriller Presumed Dangerous and 1970s Road to Salina were Lautner's only English-language films, director Quentin Tarantino used a song from Road to Salina for Kill Bill: Volume 2.
