Life

Ratti began his work in the film business in 1938 as an assistant director to Gennaro Righelli , with whom he worked on seven films in two years. Immediately after the end of the Second World War , he made his directorial debut with Felicità perduta , which was followed in 1947 by the self-written Eleonora Duse , who was hardly in circulation and is now considered lost . After some routine work (he was almost always his own screenwriter), Ratti shot the first filmic reworking of the events in Via Rasella and their consequences in 1961 , Ten Italians for a German . More solid, relatively few followed genre works, including the now considered trash plant acclaimed horror film La notte dei dannati for which he the pseudonym Peter Rush chose. Until 1976 he shot three more erotic films under the same name .

The specified date of death is often given, but cannot be verified.
