Among the best-known are The Wages of Fear (1953), Let's Make Love (1960), costarring Marilyn Monroe , Vivre pour vivre [live for life] (1967), Costa-Gravas's Z (1969), Tout va bien [all's well] (1972), State of Siege (1973), and Jean de Florette (1986). He was married (1951-85) to the French actress Simone Signoret (1921-85).
