Paul Gégauff Biography

French screenwriter Paul Gégauff frequently collaborated with filmmaker Claude Chabrol before being killed by his second wife. That death might be seen as being foreshadowed in Chabrol's Une Partie de Plaisir, a harrowing chronicle of a marital breakdown scripted by Gégauff and starring himself as an abusive husband and his ex-wife Danielle Gégauff as his long-suffering spouse. He also directed one film, Reflux, in 1965. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
