Louis Mercier Movies
French character actor
Louis Mercier was in American films from 1929's
Tiger Rose until well into the 1970s. Mercier was particularly busy at 20th Century-Fox's "B"-picture unit in the 1930s and 1940s, usually cast as detectives and magistrates. He can be seen fleetingly in
Casablanca (1942) as a smuggler in the first "Rick's Café Americain" sequence. Louis Mercier's later credits include
An Affair to Remember (1957, in which he was given a character name--a rarity for him),
The Devil at 4 O'Clock (1961) and
Darling Lili (1970). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
