I learned today that Gerard Brach the famous French screenwriter with 57 screenplays to his credit died on September 9th 2006 from cancer. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0102722/Gerard Brach was responsible for some of the greatest screenplays ever written in my opinon. He was capable of writing original and adapted screenplays of which he wrote for the following notable film directors: Roman PolanskiBitter Moon (1992) [adaption] Frantic (1988) (original screenplay) Pirates (1986) (original screenplay) Tess (1979) [adaption] The Tenant (1976) [adaption] What?
