Bruno Frank

He studied law and philosophy in Munich, where he later worked as a dramatist and novelist until the Reichstag fire in 1933.

Frank is considered part of the group of anti-Nazi writers whose works constitute German Exilliteratur.

He continued to write, producing two novels, and worked in the film industry for the rest of his life.

Frank wrote the screenplay for the popular movie version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939 film), directed by William Dieterle and starring Charles Laughton, based on the novel by Victor Hugo.

Frank's play, Sturm im Wasserglas, was filmed in Great Britain, in 1937, as Storm in a Teacup, and posthumously made into a movie directed by Josef von Báky in 1960.
