Jean Renoir

4 Extra Debut. The film director, and son of artist Auguste Renoir, answers the questions in the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Service's interview series. From June 1962.

The French film director, Jean Renoir (1894 - 1979) is quizzed by Dilys Powell and Andrew Forge.

Jean reveals the problems of having a famous father - artist Auguste Renoir - and his motivation for making films.

Launched in 1952, Frankly Speaking was a novel, ground breaking ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ series. Unrehearsed and unscripted, the traditional interviewee/interviewer pairing was initially jettisoned for three interviewers - later two - firing direct questions. Early critics demanded it was axed, but the format won out and eventually won over detractors.

First broadcast on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Service in June 1962.
