Jean Grualt
Screenwriter who helped establish the New Wave -- via Le Monde. A key player in French film in the '60s, though underestimated. He wrote scripts for directors such as Rivette ("Paris Belongs to Us"), Resnais ("My American Uncle"), and Rossellini ("The Rise of Louis XIV"). His chief collaboration was with Truffaut, for whom he wrote many great screen adaptations, some of my favorite films: "Jules and Jim," "The Wild Child," "The Story of Adele H.", and "Two English Girls."
