Marcello Albani

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marcello Albani (born May 3, 1905 in New York City , † 1980 in São Paulo , Brazil ) was an Italian film director and screenwriter .

Life

The journalist and playwright Albani wrote his first screenplay in 1936 for Gennaro Righelli's Amazzoni bianche and made his debut three years later as director of the Italian version of the French film Le père Lebonnard . His subsequent works were not successful either artistically or with the public. His loyal attitude to the fascist government under Benito Mussolini put him out of favor after the end of the Second World War; he was only able to work as a screenwriter on two films by his wife Maria Basaglia , with whom he emigrated to Brazil in 1956. There he produced two more films with the Paulistánia Films company, which was founded by his wife and Adone Fragado and himself . He probably died there in 1980.
