Marguerite Renoir on AllMovie

French film editor Marguerite Houlle Renoir was the long-time companion (they were never legally married, but she took his last name just the same) of filmmaker Jean Renoir and was responsible for cutting all of his most important films from the late '20s through 1939. She got her start at age 15 working at Pathé labs where she hand-tinted silent films. After her professional and personal relationship with Renoir ended, she worked closely with Jacques Becker.
