Jacques Dupont (21 April 1921, Ruelle-sur-Touvre – 10 March 2013) was a French film director.
Life
Formerly of the IDHEC, and a specialist in exotic cinema, he appeared less comfortable in Les Distractions, in which he directed Jean-Paul Belmondo and Alexandra Stewart, than he did in evoking French volunteers in Korea in Crèvecoeur.
