Biography in: John Wakeman, editor. "World Film Directors, Volume One,
1890-1945". Pages 113-115. New York: The H.W. Wilson Company,
1987.
Grandfather of writer/director Diane Doniol-Valcroze and actor Simon Doniol-Valcroze.
Gave up a career in law and journalism in 1938 to pursue film making. Perhaps unsurprisingly, a number of the films he later directed have had a preoccupation with the French judicial system.
