• I SHOULD be grateful for any information, no matter how tenuous, about Werner Scheff (1888 Berlin – 1947 London), an Austro-German screenwriter and prolific, successful, author of fiction who fled to Great Britain from Germany via Austria in 1937, apparently with fairly ample funds.

He settled at 24 Belsize Grove, as it was then; 15 novels of his are currently offered for purchase on the internet, and films derived in one way or another from his work can be found, too. But very little by way of biographical information appears to be available.
