Noël Roquevert(1892-1973)
- Actor
- Additional Crew
![One of the most revered names in world cinema, Henri-Georges Clouzot, made a remarkably self-assured debut in 1942 with the deliciously droll thriller The Murderer Lives at 21 [L'Assassin habite au 21].
A thief and killer stalks the streets of Paris, leaving a calling card from "Monsieur Durand" at the scene of each crime. But after a cache of these macabre identifications is discovered by a burglar in the boarding house at 21 Avenue Junot, Inspector Wenceslas Vorobechik (Pierre Fresnay) takes lodging at the infamous address in an undercover bid to solve the crime, with help from his struggling-actress girlfriend Mila (Suzy Delair).
Featuring audacious directorial touches, brilliant performances, and a daring tone that runs the gamut from light comedy to sinister noir, as well as a subtle portrait of tensions under Nazi occupation, this overlooked gem from the golden age of French cinema is presented in a beautiful high-definition restoration.

Noël Roquevert, later to develop into the archetypal bossy retired
military officer, was born into a family of actors in Brittany. Before
embodying all those old grumpy characters which made him famous he
first appeared on stage as a ... baby ! Incredible but true. He
performed in 150 plays and was among Sacha Guitry's regulars. He never
stopped working in his long career. Only a broken heart (he didn't
recover from his wife Paulette's death) caused him to call it
quits.
