Pierre Chenal

Died in 1990

Pierre Cohen, known as Pierre Chenal, was born in Brussels on 5 December 1904 and made his career in France, where he began with documentary short films. He made a name for himself in the late thirties with crime films. Being Jewish, he had to flee occupied France in 1942 with his wife, the actress Florence Marly, and made several films in Argentina. Back in France after the war, he continued to make films, without regaining the place he had previously held. He died on 23 December 1990.
