Albert Simonin
Albert Simonin (1905–1980) was a French novelist and scriptwriter. He was born in the La Chapelle quarter of the 18th arrondissement of Paris. His father was a florist. Albert was orphaned by the age of 16.[1] His novel Touchez Pas au Grisbi featuring the Parisian gangster Max le Menteur was turned into a movie starring Jean Gabin that is regarded as a classic example of French film noir. Simonin co-authored the screenplay for the movie.

gollark: Yes, which we'll be enforcing!
gollark: You can, if you must, form a group DM.
gollark: It's possible. However, saying that if I had seen some other thing I would change my views is not really a good argument in favour of changing my views.
gollark: R4 is not preemptive. That is not a reasonable way to interpret it.
