Although he never really said "Come with me to the Casbah," that line has always evoked the image of this suave, debonair French actor (the way the similarly mythical "Play it again, Sam," evokes Bogart). He did movie work in both France and Germany from 1920 to 1930, making his U.S. film debut in The Magnificent Lie (1931), and found work in Frenchlanguage versions of Hollywood movies before finally establishing himself as a leading man in American pictures. Bouncing between Hollywood and France throughout the 1930s, he enjoyed tremendous popularity in both countries, especially with feminine audiences (for obvious reasons). He cultivated an image as a great lover in The Garden of Allah (1936) and History Is Made at Night (1937) before playing the dashing thief Pepe le Moko in Algiers (1938), the picture set in large part in the Casbah.
Not content to coast on a reputation as a matinee idol, Boyer fought for meatier roles, and in the 1940s produced several of the films in which he appeared, including Tales of Manhattan (1942) and Flesh and Fantasy (1943). He was surprisingly effective as a villain in Gaslight (1944), probably the best of his 1940s films. He grew gracefully into more mature character parts in the 1950s and 1960s, and made TV history by teaming with Dick Powell to launch Four Star Productions (being one of the stars of its self-named weekly anthology show). To the end of his durable and distinguished career, he represented the quintessential Frenchman to most American moviegoers. Boyer reacted to the death of his wife, 1930s actress Pat Paterson, by taking his own life just two days before his 81st birthday. OTHER FILMS INCLUDE: 1934: Caravan 1935: Private Worlds 1936: Mayerling 1937: Conquest 1939: Love Affair 1940: All This, and Heaven Too 1941: Back Street, Hold Back the Dawn 1946: Cluny Brown 1948: Arch of Triumph 1952: EB> 1955: The Cobweb 1961: Fanny 1966: How to Steal a Million 1967: Barefoot in the Park 1969: The Madwoman of Chaillot 1973: Lost Horizon 1974: Stavisky 1976: A Matter of Time (his last).
Boyer, along with Maurice Chevalier, was one of the only French stars to make a really successful career in Hollywood. A cultured and classically trained actor, Boyer possessed distinguished looks, dark eyes and a famous velvety voice. He emerged in the 1920s, but fame came with sound. He appeared in proletarian roles in Franco-German productions such as Tumultes (1931) and Fritz Lang's French film Liliom (1934). However, his real register was that of the lover in romantic (often costume) melodrama; notably with Danielle Darrieux in Mayerling (1936) and Michele Morgan in Orage (1937), embodying a man consumed by love, the object of desire of the heroine and of the camera. This is also his Hollywood image, in melodramas such as All This and Heaven Too (1940) with Bette Davis and Back Street (1941) with Margaret Sullavan. He also conveyed the sinister aspect of male seduction, especially in Gaslight (1944, with Ingrid Bergman). Boyer took American citizenship in 1942 and was active in promoting Franco-American relations. The antithesis of Chevalier's caricatural Frenchman, Boyer nevertheless owed much of his success in Hollywood to a romantic notion of "Frenchness." He kept up French connections, acting in films directed by exiles such as Julien Duvivier (Tales of Manhattan, 1942) and remakes of French films (Algiers, 1938, after Pe・le Moko; The Thirteenth Letter, 1951, after Le Corbeau). He continued his international career after the war, with notable parts in Max Ophuls' Madame de... (1953), Christian-Jaque's Nana (1954) and Alain Resnais' Stavisky (1974). He killed himself two days after the death of his wife of forty-four years, the British actress Pat Paterson, perhaps his most romantic gesture. Although quite fluent in German, Italian and Spanish, Charles had absolutely no English.
