Hervé Bromberger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hervé Guy Geoffroy Marie René Bernard Bromberger (born November 11, 1918 in Marseille , France , † November 25, 1993 in Villejuif , ibid) was a French screenwriter , film director and writer .

Life

The son of journalist André Bromberger had attended the Collège Saint-Joseph and the Lycée Mignet in Aix-en-Provence . As a young man, he first followed in his father's footsteps and worked for the publications Combat and Cinévogue (1945/46) immediately after the Second World War . Immediately afterwards he gained his first practical experience in filmmaking as an assistant director for colleagues such as Henri Decoin and Jean Cocteau , before he made his debut as a film director at the side of the Austrian exile and veteran director Max Neufeld (1948) .

Bromberger directed a number of cinema productions, especially in the 1950s and in the first half of the following decade, which were purely entertainment in nature, but were of no importance whatsoever in terms of film history. Later, especially in the first half of the 1980s, Bromberger, who had also worked as a screenwriter (for example in 1977 for Claude Chabrol's well-known crime melodrama Violette Nozière ), only devoted himself to television.

Bromberger, who had been married since June 9, 1943 and had two children (Dominique and Christian), also tried his hand at being a novelist: " Quatres hommes et la nuit " was published in 1959, " Les derniers Coups " in 1966.
