Andre Legrand had a fifty year career as a French screenwriter and producer.He was born of Alsatian parents who had fled that part of France in 1871 after it was annexed by Prussia during wartime and had therefore been brought up to dislike the Germans.A book he wrote in the spring of 1940, Nazi Prisons, later got him into some trouble during the German occupation of France and control of the film industry there, as it had detailed the horrors that were being inflicted on already occupied lands like Austria and Czechoslovakia and the treatment of the Jewish people.Actor Pierre Blanchar who was with the French Resistance later,saved Legrand at one point from being shot by the invaders but Legrand's book was added to a list of publications not permitted in France . - IMDb mini biography by: Lawrence Chadbourne
