Jean Mamy (8 July 1912,Chambéry,Savoie – 29 March 1949,Arcueil) was a French actor, producer, film and theatre director, screenwriter, film editor, and journalist, notable for directing theanti-Masonicpropaganda filmForces occultes under the pseudonym "Paul Riche".

He belonged to the inter-war left, acting inRené Clair's 1924Dada filmEntr'acte and editingJean Renoir's 1931On purge bébé. Subsequently, he directed a number of films in the series "Une heure d'angoisse" based on the novels written byMarcel Allain for the Éditions Ferenczi. On the fall of France he decided oncollaboration. His last film was the anti-Masonic 1943 filmForces occultes, which he directed (he had from 1931 to 1939 been Venerable of the Renan lodge of theGrand Orient de France, but had since parted company with Freemasonry). The film was commissioned in 1942 by the Propaganda Abteilung, a delegation ofNazi Germany's propaganda ministry withinoccupied France by the ex-Mason Mamy. It virulently denouncesFreemasonry, parliamentarianism and Jews as part of Vichy's drive against them and seeks to prove a Jewish-Masonic plot.^[1]

Mamy had also been a journalist on the collaborationist periodicalL'Appel underPierre Constantini (leader of theLigue française d’épuration, d’entraide sociale et de collaboration européenne) and on the collaborationist journalAu pilori. After beingpurged for collaboration with the enemy, he was condemned to death and executed at the fortress of Montrouge on 29 March 1949.
