Lemmy Caution is a fictitious Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent—or in later stories a private detective—created by British writer Peter Cheyney (1896–1951), who published the first book about him in 1936. When ''This Man Is Dangerous'' was released, Cheyney was a policeman, but the novel's success enabled him to become a professional author. Cheyney wrote 10 Lemmy Caution novels between 1936 and 1945. The Lemmy Caution radio series was broadcast in the 1940s in Australia and New Zealand. Although Caution is an American character created by a British writer, he has yet to appear in an English-language film. However, he has appeared in around 15 European films, most of them French, from 1953 to 1991. In these films he was always played by the same actor, Eddie Constantine, who was indelibly associated with the role during his lifetime. The first seven of these, from 1953 to 1963, were straight detective films in the film noir style; later films tended to be experimental or comedic. Today the best-known of these films is the 1965 Jean-Luc Godard film ''Alphaville'', which placed Caution in a dystopian science fiction setting. == Lemmy Caution novels == * ''This Man Is Dangerous'' (1936) * ''Dames Don't Care'' (1937) * ''Poison Ivy'' (1937) * ''Can Ladies Kill?''
