In his 1954 article Une Certaine Tendance du Cinéma Français ("A Certain Trend of French Cinema"), François Truffaut attacked the current state of French films, singling out certain screenwriters and producers. The screenwriting team of Bost and Aurenche were criticized for their style of literary adaptations in particular, which Truffaut considered old-fashioned. The journalist Jacques-Laurent Bost was Pierre Bost's brother. Source: Article "Pierre Bost" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.
