Life
Romero Marchent grew up as the son of a publisher, cutter and film producer and began his career as a child actor; in the 1940s he appeared in a few film roles.

In 1953 he made his debut as a director.
He received the "Jimeno" Revelation Award in 1954 for the crime film Juzgado permanente and was filming two westerns with The Coyote (1955) and The Revenge of the Coyote (1956 - script: Jesus Franco ) in Spain as early as the mid-1950s . In the meantime Romero Marchent wrote himself and was often his own financier with his own production company Centaur Films , often in collaboration with Italian financiers such as Alberto Grimaldi . From 1963 onwards, a series of spaghetti westerns emerged under his direction , initially still strongly influenced by American models, making him one of the founders of the genre. In 1972 he was responsible for the indexed death march of the beasts . Later Romero Marchent preferred to shoot for television; his contributions to the series Curro Jimenez were very successful ; his last work was done in 1994 for the continuation of the miniseries, Curro Jiménez II .
He was married to actress Ángela Caballero .
