Biography

edit

After having directed four films, Jean-Claude Dague's production company was almost bankrupt. He then attempted a hold-up in Bry-sur-Marne in 1971, but was easily caught with his two partners,[1] having used his own car to flee. The two partners were actor René Chapotot and stuntman Germain Roig.[2] Dague then spent eight years in prison, and wrote about it in a book, Le Dénommé, of which he made a film in 1990.
