Biography
Primarily recognized for his roles in French films throughout the 1950s, Robert Lamoureux simultaneously worked as a cabaret performer and issued multiple commercial releases through Philips. He entered the world on January 4, 1920, in Paris, France, and stepped before the camera for the first time in André Berthomieu’s 1951 production Le Roi des Camelots. Additional 1950s features that featured him encompass Allô...Je T'aime (1952), Papa, Maman, la Bonne et Moi... (1954), Si Paris Nous Était Conté (1955), Rencontre à Paris (1956), Les Aventures d'Arsène Lupin (1957), La Vie à Deux (1958), and Signé Arsène Lupin (1959). During the 1960s Lamoureux took the helm of and appeared in two modestly received pictures, Ravissante and La Brune Que Voilà, then stepped away from French cinema to concentrate on stage work. A brief return to the screen occurred in the mid-1970s, when he authored, directed, and performed in Mais où Est Donc Passée la Septième Compagnie? (1973), Impossible...Pas Français (1974), On a Retrouvé la 7e Compagnie (1975), and Opération Lady Marlène (1975). Later on, various Lamoureux anthologies appeared that collected key tracks from his 1950s Philips catalog.
