Volpone is a 1941 French historical comedy film directed by Maurice Tourneur and Jacques de Baroncelli and starring Harry Baur, Louis Jouvet and Jean Témerson. It is based on the Jacobean play Volpone by English writer Ben Jonson. Jacques de Baroncelli began shooting the film in 1938 but due to funding issues production was halted. Tourneur later took over the direction and completed the film for its release. It was shot at the Billancourt Studios in Paris. The film's sets were designed by the art director André Barsacq while the costumes were created by Boris Bilinsky.
