Today, Albert Valentin (1908-1968) is remembered as a screenwriter. However, three of his movies are on a par with the best of the French cinema of the era. "L'Entraineuse" (1938) compared favorably with "Waterloo bridge" as a model of melodrama.During the occupation days,he outdid himself and his two towering achievements should be considered classics today, in a league with these of Clouzot. "Marie-Martine " (1942) was constructed "in reverse", predating such works as "memento" by more than half a century. "La Vie De Plaisir'(1943) told a story from two points of view, seven years before "Rashomon" and this Bunuelian scene of a bishop blessing a pack of dogs remained memorable. Sadly, like Clouzot's "Le Corbeau", 'la vie De Plaisir", "deemed infamous, was banned at the liberation. His career as a director was virtually over after WW2, although his "Le Secret De Monte Cristo" (1948) was another unsung excellent effort he told the true story on which Alexandre Dumas based his famous novel. Valentin was the lost great director of the French forties indeed. As a screenwriter his work includes such classics as "Boudu Sauvé Des Eaux"(1932), "L'Etrange Monsieur Victor " (1941) and "Le Ciel Est A Vous" (1943).- Alberto Sacramento was born on 20 February 1920 in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico.

The world's first female filmmaker, French-born Alice Guy entered the film business in 1896 as a secretary at Gaumont, a manufacturer of movie cameras and projectors who had purchased a "cinématographer" from its inventors, the Lumiere brothers. The next year Gaumont became the world's first motion picture production company when they switched to creating movies, and Guy became its first film director. She impressed the company so much with the output (she averaged two two-reelers a week) and quality of her productions that by 1905 she was made the company's production director, supervising its other directors. In 1907 she married Herbert Blaché, an Englishman who ran Gaumont's British and German offices. The pair went to the U.S. to set up the company's operations there. In 1910 Mme. Guy set up her own production company, Solax, in New York and with her husband built a studio in Fort Lee, New Jersey. After a period of critical and financial success, the couple's fortunes declined when Thomas Alva Edison's trust hindered film production in the East coast, and they eventually shut down the studio in 1919. Although her husband secured work directing films for several major Hollywood studios, Guy was never able to secure any directorial jobs there, never made a film again, most of her films were lost, some were credited to other film directors, and she did no receive recognition for her pioneering work in France and the United States. She returned to France in 1922 after her divorce from Blaché, and in 1964 returned to the U.S. and lived in Mahwah, New Jersey - not far from where her original studios were - with her daughter, where she died in 1968.- Director
