French film director (1940–2024)

**Jean-Marie Pallardy** (16 January 1940 – 12 December 2024) was a French film director.

## Life and career

Pallardy first worked as a [male model](/source/Male_model) in the 1960s, before opting for a career change and directing [softcore](/source/Softcore_pornography) [erotic](/source/Erotic) pictures. He also tried his hand at crime fiction and adventure films, with mixed results. His most ambitious project to date is *[White Fire](/source/White_Fire_(film))* (1984), starring [Robert Ginty](/source/Robert_Ginty) and [Fred Williamson](/source/Fred_Williamson), a film which has proved to be quite popular among [camp](/source/Camp_(style)) aficionados. Pallardy's career dwindled in the 1980s, with the decline of France's exploitation cinema, and his films became few and far between.

One of his last films, *The Donor*, guest-starring [David Carradine](/source/David_Carradine), was released straight to [DVD](/source/DVD) in 2004.

Pallardy died on 12 December 2024, at the age of 84.[1]
