Encyclopedia
Maurice Ronet was a French

, Alpes Maritimes, the only child of professional stage actors Émile Robinet and Gilberte Dubreuil. He made his stage debut in 1941, along side his parents, in Sacha Guitry
's Le Deux couverts, in Lausanne
. He entered the Paris Conservatoire
in 1944, where Jean-Louis Barrault
was one his mentors. When he made his film debut at twenty-two in Jacques Becker
's Rendez-vous de juillet
(1949), in a role that was written specifically for him by Becker, he had little interest in pursuing an acting career. After completing the film, he married Maria Pacôme (a French stage actress and playwright) and they departed to Moustiers-Sainte-Marie
in Provence
, where he tried his hand at ceramics. After completing his military service, he returned to Paris in the early 1950's where he took courses in philosophy and physics, and pursued his passion for literature, music (piano and organ), film and painting. His artwork, part of the peinture non figurative movement, was exhibited along with friends Jean Dubuffet
and Georges Mathieu
. He also acted occasionally in small roles in the films of French directors like Yves Ciampi
and René Wheeler
, with ambitions of becoming a filmmaker himself. Gradually, however, he came to discover a freedom in acting, and a creative satisfaction that provided a synthesis of all his interests.
He first garnered acclaim at the 1953 Cannes Film Festival
for a supporting role in Jean Dreville's Horizons sans fin and over the next few years, notably as the romantic lead in André Michel's La Sorcière
, 1956 and in Jules Dassin
's Celui qui doit mourir (He Who Must Die
, 1957). It was at the presentation of "La Sorcière", at Cannes, where he met a creative and an intellectual counterpart in Louis Malle
. Two years later he made his international box-office breakthrough as Julien Tavernier in Malle's first feature film, Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (Elevator to the Gallows
, 1958). He is probably most known for originating the role of Philippe Greenleaf in the French adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley
(Plein soleil
, Rene Clement, 1960).
Ronet's defining role reunited him with Malle and Jeanne Moreau
, in their finest collaboration:
Le Feu follet ("The Fire Within", 1963), playing an alcoholic writer. His indelible portrayal of depression and suicide garnered him the highest acclaim of his prolific career. He was awarded France's Étoile de Cristal (Crystal Star) and the prize for Best Actor at the 1965 São Paulo Film Festival; the film also won a Special Jury Prize
at the 1963 Venice Film Festival
.
He was also a collaborator of Claude Chabrol
. He appeared in four of his films including Le Scandale
(1966), for which he won the Best Actor award at the 1967 San Sebastián International Film Festival, La Ligne de démarcation
("Line of Demarcation", 1966) and La Femme infidèle
("The Unfaithful Wife", 1968). He co-starred with Alain Delon
and Romy Schneider
in La Piscine
(Jacques Deray
, 1969).

's La Balance
, 1982. He was originally cast to play Ali in Lawrence of Arabia
. However, he was replaced on location by Omar Sharif
due to difficulties with his accent.
Ronet made his own directorial debut in 1964 with Le Voleur de Tibidabo
, a self-reflexive, picaresque crime story shot in Barcelona
, in which he also starred. He followed it up with two documentaries: Vers l'île des Dragons (1973), an allegorical journey to Indonesia
to film the Komodo dragon
and a report on the building of a dam in Caborabassa, Mozambique
, for French television. He directed and produced more programs for television: his own acclaimed adaptation of Herman Melville
's Bartleby in 1976 (which was released theatrically in 1978), as well as adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe
and Cornell Woolrich
stories. He also authored two books: "L'ile des Dragons" (1973), a personal recollection and a chronicle of the making of Vers l'île des Dragons, and "Le Métier de Comédien" (1977), an honest and thorough discussion of the acting profession.
