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](/source/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](/source/Last_Holiday_(1950_film))* (1950) and *[Portrait of Clare](/source/Portrait_of_Clare_(film))* (1950).[1]
