Armando de Miranda

Armando de Miranda was born in Portimão, in the Algarve, in 1904. A bank clerk in Lisbon in the early twenties, a journalist, critic and poet, he founded the Diário do Algarve and then, in 1930, the weekly Espectáculo. Coming to cinema through documentary, as director, screenwriter, editor and producer, he was one of the most active filmmakers in the country in the forties and made twenty-six titles, two of them drawn from the legend of a nineteenth-century bandit. He left for Brazil in 1949 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 1975.
