Jacques Natanson was a French screenwriter, dialoguist and playwright. Born Jacques Joseph Emmanuel Natansonoff on 15 May 1901 in Asnières-sur-Seine, he began his career in the theatre before adapting one of his plays for the screen in 1929. He worked as a screenwriter and dialoguist on numerous films from the early 1930s onwards, including adaptations and original screenplays for directors such as Marcel L'Herbier, Georg Wilhelm Pabst and Max Ophüls.
