{{Short description|German screenwriter (1901–1973)}} '''Frederick Gotfurt''' (born Fritz Männe Gottfurcht, 8 August 1901 – 22 February 1973) was a German-British writer, scenario editor, producer and executive. In the 1940s and 1950s he was scenario editor at [[Associated British Picture Corporation]] and was heavily relied upon by head of production Robert Clarke. He has been called a key creative influence at that company - in particular his interest in the character of "the outsider" seen displayed in ''[[Last Holiday (1950 film)|Last Holiday]]'' (1950) and ''[[Portrait of Clare (film)|Portrait of Clare]]'' (1950).<ref>Sue Harper, Vincent Porter ''British Cinema of the 1950s: The Decline of Deference'' Oxford University Press, 2003 p79</ref>
