Life

In 1925, Rippo also directed a feature film, the little-known Il principe apache . Even after the introduction of the sound film, he remained loyal to documentary film and refined his work behind the camera (which he also described in another book, L'operatore cinematografica ). In 1954 the second fictional film, the melodrama Ho pianto per te! Was shot almost alone (in addition to the direction and camera he was responsible for the script, production and editing) . .
