Boulanger was such a vital ingredient to the early films of "Jean-Luc Godard", "Francois Truffaut" and "Philipe De Broca" that some historians have mixed up his writing credits with his acting appearances. Taking a random inventory, Boulanger acted in but did not write Godard's "Breathless" (1959) and Truffaut's "Shoot the Piano Player" (1962), while he wrote for but did not act in DeBroca's "That Man From Rio" (1964) and "Up to His Ears" (1965). Boulanger did, however, both act in and write De Broca's "King of Hearts" (1966). On either side of the cameras, "Daniel Boulanger" has exhibited a vigorously "black" sense of humor: seldom have as many people died as hilariously as they did in "King of Hearts" (1966). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
