Giuseppe Guarino (born January 27, 1885 in Alexandria , † February 12, 1963 in Rome ) was an Italian film director .
Life
Guarini was a trained classical dancer and, living in Paris at the time, turned to the relatively new medium of silent film in 1916. At first he wrote two scripts and from 1917 he directed numerous films. In doing so, he developed into a specialist in serial , which was based on American models. Like many of his colleagues, he went abroad in the crisis years of Italian cinema in the 1920s; So he shot other works in France, but also in Great Britain, until 1935, often as Joseph Guarino or Joseph Glavany . In 1936 he returned to Italy and resumed his directorial activities there at fairly long intervals until 1953, although both artistic standards and economic success were rather modest.
