René Alié was a French actor and singer with a rich yet discreet career, marked by more than forty film appearances. He began working in the 1930s, quickly establishing himself as a reliable supporting actor in French cinema. He notably appeared in Marcel Carné’s Hôtel du Nord, portraying a hot‑tempered criminal. His filmography spans over three decades, including roles in popular productions such as Henri Decoin’s Razzia sur la chnouf and Gilles Grangier’s Archimède le clochard.
