Guy Decomble Biography

Billed variously as Guy Decomble and Guy Decombie, this French general purpose actor first appeared on film in 1932. He was seen in several of the dour French romantic melodramas of the 1930s, among them Renoir's Le Crime de Monsieur Lange (1936) and La Bete Humaine (1938), and Carne's Le Jour Se Leve (1939). Absenting himself from films for several years, he returned in the late '50s, playing such roles as the French teacher in Truffaut's 400 Blows (1958). Guy Decomble's last known film was made in 1960, four years before his death. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
