Julio Saraceni

Julio Saraceni was born on 10 October 1912 in Buenos Aires. An aviator in his youth, he put this experience to use in his first short film, in 1937, before directing a comic feature film the following year. He made some sixty films over almost half a century, until 1986. Married to the actress Argentina Mori, who died two years before him, he spent his last years almost destitute, helped by an allowance from the national film institute; in 1994, he lived fifty metres from the Jewish mutual society hit by a bombing. He died in Buenos Aires on 12 October 1998.
