The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.weekendfilmfest.com\/insdorf.html\">Insdorf biography<\/a> quoted Truffaut as saying that he was influenced by Emily Bronte&#8217;s early death.  Here is another explanation from the article by Bob Wake. &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinemazine.com\/engels\/archief\/kael\/eng0.html\">Pauline Kael<\/a>, in her 1971 review of Two English Girls, suggested a more startling impulse behind Truffaut\u2019s decision: Muriel and Anne had come to be painfully associated in the director\u2019s mind with two real-life sisters\u2014the actresses <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0233753\/bio\">Fran\u00e7oise Dorl\u00e9ac<\/a> and Catherine Deneuve\u2014with whom Truffaut had worked and with whom he had love affairs.
