- Edgar Neville
Edgar Neville Romrée,
Count ofBerlanga de Duero (December 28 ,1899 –April 23 ,1967 ) was a Spanishplaywright and film director, a member of theGeneration of '27 .The films he directed in the 40s and 50s, yet not very successful in the box-office, reached a very characteristic and interesting mix of
realism andromanticism ; and actually several of them showed vivid and moving pictures ofMadrid that have yet to be matched in any later film.Neville lived in
Hollywood in the 30's, in the period of the dubbed Spanish versions of the studios' English-language films. There he became a close friend ofCharles Chaplin .Filmography
