What's After the Movie
Marcel Dalio
Born as Marcel Benoit Blauschild in Paris, Marcel Dalio was a renowned French movie actor with a career spanning over five decades. His parents were Romanian-Jewish immigrants that moved to France. Dalio's acting journey began with his training at the prestigious Paris Conservatoire, post which he performed in various revues from 1920. His breakthrough role came with Pépé le Moko (1937), directed by Julien Duvivier. Following this, Dalio delivered stunning performances in the 1937 film La Grande Illusion and The Rules of the Game (1939), both directed by acclaimed auteur Jean Renoir.
During the Second World War, Dalio was forced to flee Paris with his then-wife, actress Madeleine Lebeau due to the German invasion. After a long struggle, they found refuge in the United States, where Dalio continued his acting career, appearing in 19 American films, though these roles often pigeonholed him as a stereotypical Frenchman. Post-war, he returned to France, resuming his work in the French film industry, while also continuing to appear in Hollywood projects. Throughout his career, Dalio worked with some of the biggest names in cinema, including Jean Renoir, Humphrey Bogart, and Audrey Hepburn, among others. His career came to an end with his last appearance in Les Longuelune (1982).
