Vautrin is a 1943 French historical drama film directed by Pierre Billon and starring Michel Simon, Madeleine Sologne and Georges Marchal. It is based on the novels featuring the character of Vautrin by Honoré de Balzac—Illusions perdues, Père Goriot and Splendeurs et misères des courtisanes[1]—and is one of a number of adaptations of the author's works during the Occupation period.[2] It was shot at the Cité Elgé studios in Paris and on location around Fontainebleau. The film's sets were designed by the art director René Renoux.
