He began working in advertising in the 1930s before turning to screenwriting, with early credits including *Hôtel du Nord* (1938). From 1943 he formed a long partnership with Pierre Bost, writing or co-writing dozens of films, often for Claude Autant-Lara. Their collaborations include *Forbidden Games* (1952), *La Traversée de Paris* (1956) and *The Red Inn* (1951). After Bost's death in 1975, Aurenche continued to work with Bertrand Tavernier on films such as *The Judge and the Assassin* (1976) and *Coup de Torchon* (1981). He also appeared uncredited as a bandit in Luis Buñuel's *L'Âge d'or* (1930). *Sources: imdb.com, en.wikipedia.org, frenchfilms.org.* ## On Fi1m (1) - *L'Âge d'or* (1930), Fi1m 74, as Bandit (uncredited) — [page](https://film.one/film/lage-dor.md) ## Complete filmography (76) Every credit, newest first.
