Black and White (French: Le blanc et le noir) is a 1931 French comedy film directed by Marc Allégret and Robert Florey and starring Raimu, André Alerme and Louis Baron fils. Described as a "feeble racist comedy" it was the feature screen debut to the comedian Fernandel.[1] It is an adaptation of the 1922 play of the same title by Sacha Guitry, who wrote the screenplay.

It was shot at the Billancourt Studios in Paris. Marc Allégret also worked as art director, designing the film's sets.
