Live and act

Goyanes Martínez had studied medicine before joining film in 1934. There he began to work his way up with various auxiliary jobs in production. In the following years Goyanes rose to the post of general director. In this role he served the production companies Cifesa, Ufilms, Aspa Films and Suevia Films.

In 1954 he founded his own company, Guión PC, and began working as a studio-independent film producer. Initially, Goyanes produced a series of artistically highly acclaimed productions by Juan Antonio Bardem . These three films, The Death of a Cyclist , Hauptstrasse and Revenge , also received benevolent criticism abroad. At the beginning of the 1960s, Goyanes changed the company policy and concentrated on the production of very simply knitted entertainment strips in which his discovery, the child star Marisol , played the main role.
