Life and career

Giorgio Ferroni was born in Perugia on 12 April 1908.[1] Ferroni began his career in film with short documentaries during World War II.[1] He directed his first dramatic film The Thrill of the Skies in 1939.[1]

At the time of filming The Night of the Devils, Ferroni was almost completely deaf and had to direct the film with the help of a hearing aid.[2] Following the release of the film, a new project titled E i mostri uscirono dalle loro tane (transl. And the Monsters Came Out of Their Lair).[2][3] Ferroni only helmed one more film with the comedy Antonio e Placido: attenti ragazzi...chi rompe paga which he is credited as Calvin Jackson Padget, a name he used for directing Westerns in the 1960s.[3] Ferroni died in 1981.[3]
