George Beranger (27 March 1893 – 8 March 1973), also known as André Beranger, was an Australian actor and film director of stage and Hollywood.

Biography

Émigré en 1912 aux États-Unis, où il s'installe définitivement, George Beranger commence sa carrière d'acteur avec cinq courts métrages muets sortis en 1913. Il contribue en tout à près de cent-cinquante films américains (dont une soixantaine muets), souvent dans des petits rôles non crédités après le passage au parlant. Le dernier est La Rue de la gaieté d'Henry Koster (avec Betty Grable et Victor Mature), sorti en 1950.

Fait particulier, six de ses films muets sont réalisés par David Wark Griffith, dont Naissance d'une nation (1915), Intolérance (1916) et Le Lys brisé (1919), tous trois avec Lillian Gish.

Parmi ses autres films notables comme acteur, citons Beau Brummel de Harry Beaumont (1924, avec John Barrymore et Mary Astor), Le Corsaire masqué de Frank Lloyd (1926, avec Florence Vidor et Ricardo Cortez), Café métropole d'Edward H. Griffith (1937, avec Loretta Young et Tyrone Power), ou encore La Femme aux cigarettes de Jean Negulesco (1948, avec Ida Lupino et Cornel Wilde).

Par ailleurs, George Beranger est le réalisateur de dix films muets, majoritairement américains. Les trois premiers sont des courts métrages sortis en 1914 et 1915. Les sept suivants sortent entre 1920 et 1924, dont un britannique (1922) et un britanno-néerlandais (1922 également). Le dernier en 1924 est le western Western Luck, avec Buck Jones en vedette.

Batwoman employs the services of several young female agents known as "Batgirls", in her pursuit of justice. Her archenemy is a masked villain named "Rat Fink". Added to the mix is the President and Vice-President of the "Ayjax" Development Corporation. The company, using plutonium as its fuel source, has created a powerful listening device called "The Atomic Hearing Aid", which allows for limitless eavesdropping. The company has been ordered to destroy the hearing aid by the US Government when the government turned down the offer to buy the listening device (due to its unstable power supply) but the President of the company has refused to do so and now is being confronted by Rat Fink about selling him the device.

The movie follows the rise and fall of a con man—a story that begins and ends at a seedy traveling carnival. Fascinated by everything there, including a grotesque geek, Stanton "Stan" Carlisle (Tyrone Power) works with "Mademoiselle Zeena" (Joan Blondell) and her alcoholic husband, Pete (Ian Keith). Once a top-billed act, Zeena and Pete used an ingenious code to make it appear that she had extraordinary mental powers, until her (unspecified) misdeeds drove Pete to drink and reduced them to working in a third-rate outfit. Stanton learns that many people want to buy the code from Zeena for a lot of money but she won't sell; she is saving it as a nest egg. He tries to romance Zeena into teaching it to him but she remains faithful to her husband and even hopes to send him to a detox clinic for alcoholics.
