Albert Lamorisse

Lamorisse, Albert

Albert Lamorisse (1922–70) was a film maker and writer who made several successful films before dying in a helicopter crash in Iran. His film The Red Balloon won an Oscar for best original screenplay in 1956. A man of many talents, he also invented the board game Risk.

One of his films, The Wild White Stallion, based on the novel by René Guillot, led to a book of the film.

Finding the books
Folco is hard to find in its UK version with a dustjacket. Crin Blan, or The Wild White Stallion, is harder to find in its British printing, but not impossible.
