The Three Masks (French: Les trois masques) is a 1929 French film directed by André Hugon and starring Renée Héribel, Jean Toulout and François Rozet.[2] Produced by Pathé the film is considered to be a candidate for France's first talking picture, but was made in Britain. As no French studio had yet been converted for sound, it was shot at Twickenham Studios in London.[3] The first talking picture produced in France is probably Pierre Colombier's Chiqué [fr], although The Queen's Necklace produced by Pathe's rival Gaumont is also considered a contender.[4]

The first American sound films had premiered in Europe, followed by Alfred Hitchcock's Blackmail in 1929. Producer Julius Hagen was quick in overhauling the studios at Twickenham for sound and providing sound stages for rent to both British and Continental producers. The film's sets were designed by the art director Christian-Jaque. The film is based on the 1908 play of the same title by Charles Méré, which had previously been made into a 1921 silent The Three Masks by Henry Krauss.
