While still in high school, Guida worked as a volunteer assistant director for Gennaro Righelli in his Storia di una capinera , where he continued to work in this role after the end of the Second World War.

From 1950 his engagement as an assistant director increased, now u. a. for Giacomo Gentilomo and Mario Bonnard . Five years later he wrote a first screenplay; some more for films of various genres followed. The most interesting of them were made for director Giuseppe Maria Scotese . In 1968 he directed Un amico , the story of a friendship between a child and an adult. After an interlude in television, for which he had occasionally worked before, his film Il segreto dell'uomo solitaio was shown twenty years after his directorial debut at the Salerno Film Festival , which was then shown in only a few cinemas.
