Prévert and his better-known older brother Jacques worked extensively together, on a number of films. Duhamel also collaborated with the brothers on their first film (and in many other film projects), Ray and Boiffard also being roped in. As well as directing and writing, Prévert played parts in front of the camera – often uncredited – for Vigo, Renoir, Cavalcanti and Buñuel (L’Age d’Or), among others — and appeared in front of and behind the camera for Grimault.
