Jean-Louis Berthault dit Jean Louis est un créateur de costumes français, né le 5 octobre 1907 à Paris et mort le 20 avril 1997 à Palm Springs (Californie).

Ayant fait l’essentiel de sa carrière à Hollywood, il est célèbre entre autres pour avoir créé la robe fourreau en satin noir de Rita Hayworth dans Gilda et la robe couleur chair que Marilyn Monroe portait le 19 mai 1962 lors de l’anniversaire de John Fitzgerald Kennedy au Madison Square Garden.

Biography

Diplômé de l’École des Arts décoratifs, Jean-Louis Berthault fait ses débuts dans la couture chez Agnès-Drecoll. Lors d’un séjour à New York en 1935, il est remarqué par la styliste Hattie Carnegie qui l’engage pour apporter une « touche » parisienne à ses collections. Il a comme premières clientes l’actrice Irene Dunne et Joan Cohn, la femme de Harry Cohn, fondateur de Columbia Pictures, ce qui va lui ouvrir les portes des studios hollywoodiens.

En 1943, il prend la direction du département costumes de la Columbia puis, quelques années plus tard, de celui d’Universal Pictures avant de s’installer à son compte, créant sa propre maison de confection. À partir de 1958, il travaillera surtout pour la United Artists.

Nommé 14 fois aux Oscars, il ne reçoit la statuette qu’une seule fois en 1957 pour Une Cadillac en or massif de Richard Quine.

Marié pendant plus de trente ans, il épouse à la mort de sa femme en 1987 l’actrice Loretta Young. Il meurt à 89 ans le 20 avril 1997.

It seems there are a number of people on his list and before he metes out justice to each one, he places a cross with that person's name on it in the middle of the street.

In Italy in the Sixties, a gang of American thieves arrive in Naples to steal the famous Treasure of San Gennaro. However the Americans do not know how to move in the picturesque town. For the customs of the natives are too weird and incomprehensible to them. So the two men and the girl (the gang members) go to a prison, following the advice of a friend. There he would find the man who would have done in their case. It is a certain Don Vincenzo, a very famous in the city for his theft. He however, since it is known by everyone there, is treated in the prison as a gentleman by the guards with all possible facilities. The Americans, when they see this type of treatment, impossible in a country like them, remain quite stunned. Don Vincenzo warmly received them and advises them to go to Naples to look for a certain Armandino Girasole, said "Dudù". He, a young thief by profession, would help them steal the treasure of San Gennaro, fortunately not mentioned by the Americans to Don Vincenzo. The Americans, keeping secret the purpose of theft, meet Dudù and agree with him.
