is a French film and theater actor. After following classical courses at the Conservatory, where he met Charles Boyer and Pierre Blanchar in particular, Robert Arnoux began in 1917 at the Odéon where he remained for five years. He performed Becque and Musset there[clarification necessary]. Then he moves on to the boulevard: Les Hommes, Le Paquebot Tenacity by Charles Vildrac, Lucienne et le Boucher by Marcel Aymé, Les Invités du bon Dieu by Armand Salacrou, etc. He embarked on a film career. Its beginnings coincide with the arrival of talkies in France. He first shot for the German firm UFA (Tumults in 1931, Le Congrès s'amuse) in 1932), then for Paramount Pictures (La Perle, 1932). Two films (Mademoiselle ma Mère in 1937 and Amédée in 1949) allowed him to play the male co-star, but he rarely played the leading roles. Arnoux nevertheless appears regularly in numerous successful films (the prefect in Letters of Love in 1942, the black market profiteer in La Traversée de Paris in 1956 and another trafficker in Here Comes the Time of Assassins in 1956) and gives the responds to a whole generation of actors including Jean Gabin, Claude Brasseur and Louis Jouvet.
