Life and career

[edit]

Toutain is known for playing the aviator André Jurieux in Jean Renoir's film The Rules of the Game (La Règle du jeu).[1] The role suited him: Toutain was also an avid hobby aviator, as well as an acrobat. He first gained fame as an actor in the adventure film The Mystery of the Yellow Room [fr] and its sequel The Perfume of the Lady in Black [fr].[1] Toutain also appeared in Fritz Lang's Liliom (1934).[2] His film career slowed down in the late 1940s and he made his final movie in 1956. He was a good friend of fellow actor Jean Marais,[3] who organized his funeral.[4]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
