Sergio Grieco
Sergio Grieco (born January 13, 1917 in Codevigo , Padua province , † March 30, 1982 in Rome ) was an Italian film director and screenwriter .
Life
Grieco was a student in Paris where he had gone with his families. There he was an assistant to Germaine Dulac from a young age , and later, now living in Russia, to Nikolai Ekk . In 1939 he returned to his native country and worked as an assistant editor and director for numerous films. In 1943 he was involved in the script for Luchino Visconti's obsession .
After a few short films, he made his debut as a feature film director in 1951 with Il sentiero dell'odio . Many films of numerous genres followed, from comedy to period films to Pepla , which always testified to technical skill and were well received by the audience, but were never able to meet the artistic expectations that had been expected after its beginnings. From 1965 onwards, a number of spy films were made, including the title character Jack Clifton , for which he used the pseudonym Terence Hathaway .
