Life

Barreiro grew up in Pontevedra and moved to Madrid in 1935, where he attended the Royal Conservatory of Music and became known as a guitar virtuoso. He worked as a correspondent for Vogue and after the Spanish Civil War founded the “Laboratorias Laisa” dedicated to photography, for which he also shot several documentaries. In 1944 he made his debut in the feature film sector with the western parody El sobrino de Don Buffalo Bill , as did his later films based on his own script. Two years later he continued the parodic series, whose female lead was always occupied with Rosita Yarza , with El otro Fu-Man-Chu and finished it with El pirata Bocanegra . The long documentary A toda vela was also made in 1946. Barreiro's most popular and personal film is Póker de ases from 1947, which tells an adventurous story of the Spanish legion in Africa. With Pototo, Boliche y compañía followed in 1948 his last film, enriched with numerous guest appearances, the protagonists of which had become popular through radio programs.

In the years that followed, Barreiro worked for the radio, wrote essays and columns, and was involved in early television shows.
