Albert Préjean(1894-1979)

Albert Prejean was a flying ace during the First World War, and before that had worked as an acrobat - both of which facilitated his entry into movies as a stuntman. His first proper acting job was in Rene Clair's debut film Paris qui dort (1925). He became a popular star of early French comedy and, having also at one time worked as a nightclub singer, was often cast in films which required him to sing, notably Sotto i tetti di Parigi (1930). He was also Mack the Knife in the 1931 French version of Brecht's 'Threepenny Opera'.
