André Hunebelle (b. 1896) was an odd-job man ,always seeing which way the wind would blow when he made his movies;hence his eclecticism ,so to speak:comedies,swashbucklers (genre in which his gave his most pleasant works ),spy thrillers ,spoofs ....
His comedies (his dominant genre in the fifties) were mostly "Théatre De Boulevard " ,many of them ponderous and heavy-handed,occasionally funny when the original material was not bad ('"Treize A table" " L'Impossible Monsieur Pipelet").
He had begun the swashbuckler in 1953 ("Les Trois Mousquetaires") but he is mostly remembered for the late fifties/ early sixties trilogy ,"Le Bossu " "Le Capitan" and "Le Miracle Des Loups " ,all remakes of silent movies,but the color and the presence of Jean Marais as the sword hero in all of them made these works entertaining even today.On the other hand, his remake of Eugene Sue's "Les Mysteres De Paris" was looked upon as a failure.
In the wake of James Bond, he tackled the spy thriller with his four OSS 117 episodes .Of course they did not compare favorably with the Salzmann/Broccoli productions ;the best of the lot was certainly the third one "Furia A Bahia Pour OSS 117" (1965).
Like Eugène Sue 's "Mysteres De Paris" , Souvestre-Allain 's "Fantomas" saga was given a totally false rendering;the screenwriters turned horror bloody thrillers into farces ;however ,the last one "Fantômas Contre Scotland Yard" was unusually inventive and owed a lot to De Funès's comic skills.
His final works were spoofs on "Les Trois Mousquetaires " featuring the abominable Charlots,but the first part was not bad.His swansong "Ca Fait Tilt" (1977) got unanimous thumbs down and Hunebelle called it a day .He died in 1985.- Writer
