Luis César Amadori
Luis César Amadori (born May 28, 1903 in Pescara , Italy, † June 5, 1977 in Buenos Aires ) was an Argentine filmmaker, screenwriter and writer of Italian descent.
Life
Amadori's parents had emigrated to Argentina from Italy while he was still a toddler, so he grew up in Argentina. After dropping out of medical school, he worked as a journalist for various newspapers, including as a music critic for Ultima Hora . He later also wrote plays and composed tangos , including Madreselva , which he wrote with Francisco Canaro .
Amadori came to film through Ángel Mentasti . His first film work was Puerto Nuevo in 1936 , which he directed with Mario Soffici . This was the beginning of a more than 30-year career as a director and screenwriter, in which he worked on over 60 films.
While filming his film Orquesta de señoritas , he met the actress Zully Moreno in 1941 and entered into a relationship with her. After Moreno's numerous appearances in Amadori's films, the gossip press reported on the relationship between the two. In April 1947 Moreno and Luis married César Amadori. After the fall of Juan Perón in 1955, Moreno and Amadori fled into exile in Spain . In the 1970s, the couple moved back to Argentina, where Amadori took over the management of the Teatro Maipo in Buenos Aires as impresario . He died there in 1977.
