Life
Cristallini took an early interest in recording technology and film editing and in 1942 became assistant director for important films by Goffredo Alessandrini that year. After the Second World War , he first devoted himself to documentary film - his directorial debut in 1947 was Il vittoriale degli italiani - and the following year to feature films , making small films for selected regions until the mid-1950s.
Towards the end of the 1950s he specialized as director of the second staff in the staging of crowd scenes; At the beginning of the 1970s, he brought his own films into the cinemas again, but they lacked originality and inspiration. Cristallini's participation in the film from German production Let's go crazy , 1986, which is attributed to him , is controversial.
Cristallini's pseudonym was George Warner .
