 In the post-war period, L'Herbier made one further return to the "chronique filmée" with "L'Affaire du collier de la reine" (1946), but otherwise his remaining films as director were fairly conventional literary adaptations, and his creative career in the cinema concluded with "Les Derniers Jours de Pompei" (1950) and "Le Père de mademoiselle" (1953).In the 35 years since his début in 1918, he completed 14 silent and 30 sound feature films.As his career as a director for the cinema faded in the post-war years, Marcel L'Herbier transferred his energies to the relatively new and undeveloped medium of television.
