[Producteur] Alberto Grimaldi

[Rex Lee]

On doit à ce producteur italien, né en1925, certains des plus beaux fleurons du genre:

Et pour quelques dollars de plus (pour lequel il n'est pas crédité)
Le bon la brute et le truand
Colorado
Le dernier face à face
El Mercenario
Sabata
Adios Sabata
El Magnifico

Et une bonne quinzaine d'autres en tant que co-producteur: Les 3 implacables, Les 7 du Texas, 4 hommes à abattre, 100.000 dollars pour Lassiter...)


Rien que ça!



M.Grimaldi a travaillé avec les plus grands.

Grimaldi (PEA)a commencé à co-produire et distribuer en Italie les petites productions (par le budget, pas par la qualité, très grande) de Joaquin Romero Marchent, c'est probablement par là qu'il est venu à produire les Leone et les autres.

Les 3 implacables a très bien marché en Italie, le reste a suivi.

Alberto Grimaldi, Producer of ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ and ‘Gangs of New York,’ Dies at 95

Alberto Grimaldi, a film producer whose credits include the Spaghetti Western “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and Martin Scorsese’s “Gangs of New York,” has died. He was 95.

Grimaldi’s son, Maurizio Grimaldi, confirmed his death to Variety, adding that his father died of natural causes.

Born in Naples, Italy on March 28, 1925, Grimaldi originally studied law before starting his own production company, Produzioni Europee Associati, or P.E.A., in 1961. The first feature film Grimaldi produced was the Spanish western film “L’ombra di Zorro,” which released the following year. Grimaldi produced his first Spaghetti Western film, “I due violenti,” in 1964. P.E.A. became known for its low-budget action movies that were often co-productions with Spain and West Germany, and remained active until the early ’80s.

In 1965, Grimaldi first collaborated with Sergio Leone on the international co-production “For a Few Dollars More,” starring Clint Eastwood. The two also worked together the following year, when Grimaldi produced Leone’s epic Spaghetti Western “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” which scored $25 million at the box office and is credited with skyrocketing Eastwood to fame.

Grimaldi worked as a producer on over 80 films in Europe and the United States during his career, which spanned four decades. Other notable titles include “Burn!” in 1969, 1972’s “Last Tango in Paris” starring Marlon Brando, “Man of La Mancha” in 1972 starring Sophia Loren, “Illustrious Corpses” in 1976 and “Ginger and Fred” in 1986. His last film production was Scorsese’s “Gangs of New York” in 2002, which starred Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz and Liam Neeson and was nominated for nine Academy Awards, including best picture.

Grimaldi is survived by his three children, Massimo, Maurizio and Marcello, and three grandchildren.
