Lucio De Caro

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giuseppe Lucio De Caro (born January 15, 1922 in Pescara ) is an Italian screenwriter and film director .

Life

De Caro became assistant to Mario Soldati at a very young age, in 1941, and wrote his tragic story the following year . Another year later he made his debut as a director, a comedy with Ugo Falena . After several other collaborations, De Caro was responsible for the Italian version ( Manù il contrabbandiere ) of the French Le dessous des cartes in the first post-war years and in 1949 edited the animated film La rosa di Baghdad .

In 1951 De Caro left the film scene and worked as a political journalist for twenty years until he returned as a screenwriter in 1971 and wrote both crime novels and comedies , and between 1974 and 1976 he directed three interesting but largely forgotten films himself. From 1980 he wrote for Italian television, as he had often done in the previous decade for director Stefano Vanzina . Among them was the series about the Big Man portrayed by Bud Spencer (in the original Il professore ).
