Louis de Fernes was a screenwriter in the 1960s and 1970s. A famous French comedy star in the 1990s, he is well-known to the audience for starring in the comedy film "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" with the background of World War II. Speaking of this film, everyone who has watched it can immediately recall this cute little French man, as well as his hysterical performance in the film, singing "Mandarin Duck Tea" in the Turkish bath, etc., which are unforgettable classics. shots and funny lines. His comedy talent and superb performance in the film made "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" a box office record of over 100 million in France, making him recognized as France's number one comedian.

Fenes was born in 1914. When he was young, he worked as a craftsman and an accountant. This period of life accumulated a lot of material for his later performances. Playing a supporting comedy role in a stage play created another opportunity for him to hone his acting skills.

Although he has been involved in the film industry since 1945, he has always played supporting roles. It was not until 1957, when he was 43 years old, that he became the protagonist. By then, he already looked like the "little old French man". In his acting career, he has created many characters from different professions and different eras, but his character remains the same. Through exaggerated body movements and expressions, he vividly portrays the typical character of the French citizen class: kind and enthusiastic yet selfish and suspicious, shrewd and capable yet cunning and changeable.

The most well-known role played by Fenes to the Chinese audience is the conductor in "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth". The short, irritable, bald French old man with small eyes and big mouth, even wearing a wide trousers The German military uniforms and the steel helmets that cover his eyes still look the same. It was more than 10 years ago that "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" was released in my country. Over the years, audiences have relived this masterpiece over and over again on television, and many of its wonderful dialogues still ring in their ears today.

In addition to the film "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth", Fenes has several other films that have been released in my country: in "The Missing President" he played the role of a restaurant owner looking for the president; In it, he played a mercenary factory owner; and in "A Man or a Bastard II" he played a gourmet who lost his sense of taste at the end of the film and could only judge a glass of wine with his eyes. During the performance, Fenes had a serious expression and bright eyes. Staring at the wine in the glass, he talked endlessly about the quality and origin of the wine, with a hint of funny conceitedness flashing across his face from time to time, which perfectly demonstrated his acting skills.

His famous works also include the police series shot from the 1960s to the 1980s, from the first episode "The Police of St. Tropez" to the final "Police and Female Soldiers"* **Filmed 6 episodes. Saint-Tropez was originally a tourist area in France, and the police station used as a location in the film became a new tourist attraction.
