The French actor, writer, manager and director, Sacha Guitry had a prolific output of plays and films. His stage works range from historical dramas to contemporary light comedies. Some have musical scores, by composers including André Messager and Reynaldo Hahn.
Frivolous, misogynist and reactionary, Guitry's films are saved by his humour and his devastating verbal flow, as in the famous seventeen-minute telephone monologue of Faisons un rêve and his voice-over in the brilliant The Story of a Cheat (both 1936)."
