Jean Renoir: Part Two - Hollywood and Beyond (1993x8)

Air date: Nov 17, 1993

Part Two, "Hollywood and Beyond\" begins with his 1941 arrival in Hollywood, unhappy experiences at 20th Century Fox, and subsequent career that produced titles like \"This Land is Mine\",\"The Diary of a Chambermaid\" and the Indian-set \"The River.\" He returned to Europe to make such films as \"The Golden Coach\" and \"French Cancan,\" but lived out his final years in a modest house in Beverly Hills. Sad ending notes that on his final film, \"Le Petit Theatre de Jean Renoir\" (1969), he was initially refused an advance. Including rare archive footage and BBC interviews with Renoir himself.
