Children of Paradise
Prévert wrote a number of screenplays for the film director Marcel Carné. Among them were the scripts for "Drôle de drame" ("Bizarre, Bizarre", 1937), "Quai des brumes" ("Port of Shadows", 1938), "Le Jour se lève" ("Daybreak", 1939), "Les Visiteurs du soir" ("The Night Visitors", 1942) and "Children of Paradise" ("Les Enfants du Paradis", 1945). The last of these regularly gains a high placing in lists of best films ever and earned him an Oscar nomination for best original screenplay.
