Louis de Funès was a French actor and comedian remembered for high-energy performances and a wide range of facial expressions and tics. A considerable part of his best-known work was directed by Jean Girault. His conservative petit bourgeois characters, who typically kissed up to authority while persecuting their subordinates, resonated with the changing societies of the 1960s and drove him to success.
Louis de Funès appears in 10 films in The Rerun, from 1947 to 1973. Most of that work is in comedy, adventure and crime. Frequent collaborators in The Rerun: André Hunebelle (4), Gérard Oury (3), Jean Marais (3), Mylène Demongeot (3), Robert Dalban (3).
