Julien Duvivier (8 October 1896, Lille – 29 October 1967, Paris) was a French film director. He was prominent in French cinema in the years 1930-1960. Amongst his most original films, chiefly notable are La Bandera, Pépé le Moko, Panique, Voici le temps des assassins and Marianne de ma jeunesse. Jean Renoir called him, a "great technician, [a] rigorist, a poet".
Duviver was killed behind the wheel of his car in a collision with a automobile occupied by Maurice Schumann, Charles De Gaulle's Minister of Scientific Research.
