Bruno Paolinelli
Bruno Paolinelli (born 1923 in Rome , † September 16, 1991 in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin , France ) was an Italian film director and producer .
Life
Paolinelli began working as a camera assistant for Sergio Tofano during the Second World War in 1943 . He then worked as a cameraman for documentary films, before working as assistant director and screenwriter for five films, including two each by GW Pabst and Aldo Fabrizi , and then as producer and line producer for three melodramas . In 1955 he made his directorial debut, the positively received comedy I pappagalli based on his own script. His six other works, which were submitted at intervals of several years until 1976 and under the pseudonym John Huxley , followed the laws of genre film , but were not uninteresting; like the gloomy Legge di guerra and the film adaptation of a novel by Giovanni Aprino , La suora giovane , which received several awards.
As a film producer, Paolinelli financed two animated films and several feature films in 1968 and 1974 .
