Biography
Roger Tréville
Roger Tréville (* 17 November 1902 in Joigny; † 27 September 2005 in Beaumont, Dordogne department, Aquitaine, France) was a French actor.
Tréville began his film career of more than fifty years in 1921 in the two British silent films Married Life (directed by his father, veteran director Georges Tréville) and The Rotters. He appeared in about 40 roles in front of the camera until his retirement from the film business in 1974. Tréville made French films as well as films in Britain, the USA and Italy. In 1968 he made an appearance in an episode of the West German series Graf Yoster gibt sich die Ehre and in the international co-production under German auspices, Geheimnisse in goldenen Nylons. In 1968 he played the organiser of the duel in the Stade Charléty in Alfred Hitchcock's Topas. Since this ending failed with a test audience, Tréville's scene was cut out. The scene was re-released for a later DVD release in 1999.[1]
