Biography

D'abord acteur de théâtre, Marcel Journet (pseudonyme) mène une partie de sa carrière aux États-Unis et joue à Broadway (New York) dans quatre pièces au cours des années 1930, puis dans une comédie musicale en 1942.

Au cinéma, il débute dans La Fière Créole (un petit rôle non-crédité) de John M. Stahl, avec Maureen O'Hara et Rex Harrison, sorti en 1947. Puis il apparaît dans dix autres films américains, son plus connu étant sans doute Lettre d'une inconnue de Max Ophüls (1948, avec Joan Fontaine et Louis Jourdan). Le dernier film de sa période américaine est La Taverne de la Nouvelle-Orléans (co-produit par la France) de William Marshall, avec Errol Flynn et Micheline Presle, sorti en 1951.

Dans son pays natal, Marcel Journet contribue notamment aux créations de l'opérette Pacifico, sur une musique de Jo Moutet (1958, avec Bourvil et Georges Guétary) et de la pièce Le Cheval évanoui de Françoise Sagan (1966, avec Nicole Courcel et Jacques François).

Il se produit également dans dix films français (ou co-productions), dont La Putain respectueuse de Charles Brabant et Marcello Pagliero (1952, avec Louis de Funès et Barbara Laage), Napoléon de Sacha Guitry (co-production franco-italienne, 1955, avec Daniel Gélin puis Raymond Pellegrin dans le rôle-titre) et Ascenseur pour l'échafaud de Louis Malle (1958, avec Jeanne Moreau et Maurice Ronet). Son ultime film est la co-production franco-britannique La Fantastique Histoire vraie d'Eddie Chapman de Terence Young, avec Christopher Plummer et Romy Schneider, sorti en 1966.

Enfin, pour la télévision, il collabore à deux séries américaines dans les années 1950.

The film is a 20th-century adaptation of Voltaire's 1759 social satire novel Candide, ou l’Optimisme. Set in the World War II-era, it follows the adventures of Candide, an orphaned Westphalian brought up in a baron's chalet. He falls in love with the baron's daughter, Cunégonde, and is thrown out of the house when the baron discovers them kissing. When war breaks out in 1939, Candide is drafted and then captured by the Nazis, but escapes and joins the International Red Cross. Candide's improbable adventures take him into a concentration camp to rescue his tutor, Pangloss; then he is off to South America (where he endures a series of revolutions), Borneo (where he is imprisoned by a primitive tribe), Moscow (where he accidentally foments a missile crisis between the Soviet Union and the United States), and New York (where he gets mixed up in a racial clash). Finally, back in France, he retires to a country house with Cunégonde, Pangloss, and a mysterious lady who saved him from a firing squad, and settles down to write his memoirs.

In 1935, United States Narcotics Agent Michael Barrows (Powell) is assigned to find an unidentified freighter suspected of smuggling drugs. When he and the Coast Guard spot it along the California coast, they give chase. Barrows watches helplessly through binoculars as the freighter captain has about a hundred chained slave laborers thrown overboard to drown. The ship escapes by passing beyond the 12 mile limit and entering international waters. Horrified by what he has seen, Barrows determines to smash the narcotics ring - traveling "to the ends of the Earth" if need be - without first clearing it with his boss, Commissioner H. J. Anslinger (played by the real Harry J. Anslinger).
