Biography

Janine Darcey est la fille d'Eugène Casaubon, industriel, et de Marie Bouchon.

Elle est scolarisée en région parisienne où sont installés ses parents, puis part en Angleterre pour poursuivre ses études. Après son retour, elle prend des cours de théâtre et obtient des petits rôles de figuration dans quelques films.

Marc Allégret la remarque et lui offre en 1938 un rôle de jeune première, élève du conservatoire, et héroïne dans le film Entrée des artistes où elle donne la réplique à Louis Jouvet, elle obtient pour ce rôle le prix Suzanne-Bianchetti qui récompense la révélation la plus prometteuse de l'année. Le 1er juillet 1937, Janine se marie avec Pierre Torre, ils divorcent en 1941.

En 1943, elle tourne Le Carrefour des enfants perdus de Léo Joannon, et tombe amoureuse de l'acteur principal, Serge Reggiani, ils se marient le 5 juin 1945 et auront deux enfants :


Stéphan, né en 1945, qui se lancera dans une carrière de chanteur, auteur, compositeur, jusqu'à son suicide en 1980 ;
Karine, née en 1951, elle aussi chanteuse, qui fera partie de la troupe de Big Bazar de Michel Fugain.
En 1945, elle est pressentie par André Zwobada pour jouer dans François Villon aux côtés de son mari Serge Reggiani, mais enceinte, elle cède sa place à Micheline Francey.

Elle divorce de Serge Reggiani en 1955. Le 16 mars 1957, elle se remarie avec Michel Jacovleff, « écrivain » mais surtout aventurier.

Dans les années 1970, elle s'installe dans un petit village de montagne, à Gréolières (Alpes-Maritimes). Meurtrie par le suicide de son fils Stéphan, elle reprend cependant quelques tournages dans les années 1980, mais avec l'âge et l'éloignement du milieu professionnel, les rôles se font de plus en plus rares.

Elle meurt en octobre 1993 à Fontenay-lès-Briis.

François Perrin is a belligerent factory worker who plays football for a local amateur team, in a club owned by a rich businessman who also owns the factory where Perrin, as well as most of the population of Trincamp, works. His attitude doesn't endear him to anyone, and the situation is not helped when, at a training session, he pushes Berthier, the star and captain of the team, who demands that Perrin be expelled. Soon thereafter, he is also fired from his job, and the whole town turns against him and he is even prohibited from entering the local bar. When a drunk Berthier tries to rape a woman one night, Perrin is immediately framed for the deed, and ends up in jail after being brutalized by the police. Two months later, the Trincamp team is to participate in an important game for the France's Cup, but the bus carrying the team gets into an accident, and out of desperation to replace the injured players, Perrin is released from jail to help out the team. While on the way to the stadium, he manages to evade police and finds the rape victim and confront her. Rather than resulting in conflict, he actually finds someone who believes him, since she was not positive in her earlier identification, and she decides to investigate the testimonies that convicted Perrin, while he goes on to play and scores both of his team's goals in a very tight victory. Perrin is now the town's hero, and he uses that position and the knowledge of who did what and who made false reports to the police to plot a subtle but effective revenge on those who have wronged him.
