Biography

François Villiers (2 March 1920 – 29 January 2009) Chevalier of the Legion of Honor was a French film director. He was responsible for several films, from Hans le marin in 1949, to Manika, une vie plus tard, in 1989, which won the Prix du Public at Cannes.

He was the younger brother of actor Jean-Pierre Aumont and therefore uncle of Tina Aumont. His mother's uncle was well-known stage actor Georges Berr (died 1942).
