Mini Biography

The name of Maurice Escande is inextricably from the Comédie-Française, the oldest & most illustrious theatre company of France. He certainly belonged to the troupe – with just a few interruptions – from 1918 to 1970, increased through the rates from “pensionnaire” (paid professional) to “sociétaire” (regular member) to key administrator between 1960 and 1970. Blessed on 4-11-1892, he’s still a teenager when he decides to be an professional. A play noticed on the Odeon may be the revelation of his vocation. He research play with Denis d’Inès and Raphaël Duflos and is victorious two acting awards, one in humor, another in tragedy. It’s the starting of an extended and esteemed career on the main point where he performed Racine, Corneille, Victor Hugo, Musset, Balzac, Molière, Verlaine, Voltaire, Shakespeare, Beaumarchais, Vigny, Guitry, Rostand, Montherlant… and that’s not the fifty percent of it! Not really articles to tread the planks, to direct performs, to teach play to a large number of potential thespians such as for example Claude Piéplu and Michel Bouquet, Maurice Escande was also a film professional, from 1917 to 1970. However the adjective “esteemed” cannot connect with his film profession, rich in conditions of volume (70 game titles) but significantly less with regards to quality. Too little great brands of French movie theater used him, so when they do, they tended to employ Escande because of their lesser initiatives like Marcel Pagnol for Le gendre de Monsieur Poirier (1933) or Jean Grémillon for L’étrange Madame X (1951). And just what a large amount of cheesy game titles in his filmography agreed upon by copyrighted rubbishy filmmakers as Wulschleger, Caron, Vallée, Hugon, Tavano, Couzinet, Jayet! Merely to boil the container for sure. Nevertheless Escande lent his good-looking amount (wasn’t he a matinée idol in the initial silent films he produced?), natural difference and style to several really important functions among which Abel Gance’s shocking (for enough time) historical play Lucrezia Borgia (1935), where he was the Duke of Gandie, Jean Renoir’s_La Marseillaise (1937)_, where he embodied the community squire, ‘Abel Gance’s Le capitaine Fracasse (1943), as the Marquis des Bruyères, Sacha Guitry’s Le diable boiteux (1948) as Metternich, and Guy to Guys (1948) or even to much less ambitious but top quality movies aimed by Henri Diamant-Berger(Three Musketeers (1932)), Georges Lacombe (Les époux scandaleux (1935), Café de Paris (1938)_), Robert Vernay (_Le père Goriot (1944)_, Le capitan (1946)), Albert Valentin (La vie de plaisir (1944)), etc. In any case, Maurice Escande’s great existence and commendable bearing was generally added value towards the movies he made an appearance in, whatever their quality was. Frequently a commendable (count number, duke, marquis, prince as well as ruler: Louis XIV, Louis XV), he was among the great brands of French movie theater who brought their skill towards the seventh artwork, improving a film when it had been good and rendering it bearable when it had been a bomb.
