Born in New Caledonia, Alin Laubreaux was a writer and journalist principally known for his theatrical reviews published in the ultra-collaborationist, anti-Semitic and fascist newspaper Je suis partout.
Hated by a good part of the Parisian artistic milieu, he was publicly slapped in June 1941 by Jean Marais whom he had called "l'homme au Cocteau entre les dents" after having savaged the playwright's latest play La machine à écrire. The scene was freely adapted by Louis Malle in his Dernier Métro. Alin Laubreaux was also accused of having played a significant role in the arrest by the Gestapo, then in the deportation of poet Robert Desnos whom he execrated and who had also slapped him some years earlier. At the Liberation, he fled to Spain and was sentenced to death in absentia in 1947.
