José Antonio Nieves Conde

Died in 2006

José Antonio Nieves Conde was born in Segovia in 1911, the son of a military man. A law student in Madrid, he joined the Falange, fought in its ranks during the Civil War and opposed its absorption into the single party. A film critic at the daily Pueblo and the magazine Primer Plano, then assistant to Rafael Gil, he moved into directing in 1946 with a gangster film and had a great success in 1950. Censorship then went after several of his films, and he came to be regarded as a difficult director. He died in 2006.
