Tonino Ricci
Tonino Ricci (also Teodoro Ricci ; born October 23, 1927 in Rome ; † March 9, 2014 there ) was an Italian film director and screenwriter .
Life
Ricci worked in the Italian film industry since the early 1960s, initially as assistant director to Mario Bava , Antonio Leonviola and Paolo Bianchini . In 1969 he made his first own film and was also responsible for the screenplay - as with almost all of his films.
He had a special relationship with fabrics from Jack London since he was the second director of the filming of Wolfsblut under Lucio Fulci ; He shot several films in Madonna di Campiglio based on the author's material. Since 1983 he has cast the Italian Bruno Minniti ( “Conrad Nichols” ) in almost all of his films.
Ricci's genre films , which always had adventurous or fantastic subjects as content, were often neglected by the critics, although he was also certified to have always achieved respectable results in view of low budgeting , and he was considered underestimated.
Ricci almost always used the pen name Anthony Richmond to draw his films.
