Educated at Cambridge and the Sorbonne, de Grunwald worked for several years as a print journalist in Britain, turning to screenwriting in 1939. After functioning on the production staff of Two Cities productions, de Grunwald and his younger brother, Dmitri (1914-1990), formed their own production company in 1946. Keeping his hand in the writing game, de Grunwald contributed to the scripts of many of his productions, including The Winslow Boy (1950) and The Holly and the Ivy (1953). Anatole de Grunwald's final film efforts included the star-studded The V.I.P.'s (1963) and The Yellow Rolls Royce (1965). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
