Live and act

Born in London to a Genoese father and a French mother, he grew up in Italy since 1914. After studying law , Pagliero moved to the newspaper and worked as an art and literary critic . In film, he initially worked in the dubbing area and from 1940 onwards he participated in scripts and story drafts. At the time of Mussolini's fall (1943), Marcello Pagliero began working as a director. His first film, 07… tassi , which reacted to the war situation in Italy, had a complicated production history, was finished by others and was not released until 1946. After a few documentaries, he was also involved in the development of neorealistic cinema. In Roberto Rossellini's masterpiece Rome, Open City, he took part as an actor: Pagliero embodied the key role of Manfredi, one of the leaders of the anti-fascist resistance. For Rossellini's Paisà (1946) he participated in the story template. For this he received an Oscar nomination in 1950 .

In 1947 the Italian moved to his mother's country and settled in Paris. There he continued his work as an actor and director. The majority of his productions is of lesser importance, only his adaptation of Sartre's play The Respectful Prostitute made in Performance 1953 for all sorts of excitement and made the director known internationally. His subsequent productions, often speculative colportage, are almost meaningless. Pagliero filmed in New Guinea in 1955, and four years later in the Soviet Union .

Marcello Pagliero also worked for the theater. For example, he put on a performance of La Mandragola at the Teatro delle Arti in Rome. After 1960 he only worked as a director for television.
