Alfredo Mayo
(1911-1985)
Hello
and Welcome to

www.don-alfredo-mayo.com
Dear Visitors,
Because, Alfredo
Mayo, Sir Alfred, has given dreams so many people (among them we are,
of course)
and has permitted to discover and love Spain with practically 200 roles
in 50 years, we had to write theses pages. Our
only wish is the celebration of the centenary of his birth and to get
it, completing the website with all our affection and your
help.
Thanks,
the authors.
And now, let's switch off the
light, it's time to discover

For our summer selection of the films played by Alfredo Mayo, we present us "Obsesión" (1947) directed by Arturo
Ruiz-Castillo, a adultery drama in Spanish Guinea. We'll follow with "Los desafíos"
(1969), un film built with three short films made by pupils of the Spanish Official Scool of Cinema(EOC), the futures
Spanish directores, Claudio Guerín Hill, José Luis Egea, Víctor Erice, all under the authority of the producer Elías Querejeta. In the 70s Alfredo Mayo 'll be an officer of police in "In the folds of the flesh" (1970), a film directed by the Italian filmmaker Sergio Bergonzelli,
a "giallo" with a erotic-freudian pinch, a work criticized in some film
reviews but now which seems rather interesting; in the casting we can
see too Fernando
Sancho, Emilio Gutiérrez Caba, and the Italian actresses Eleonora Rossi Drago and Anna Maria Pierangeli. We 'll finish with a Spain-Germany coproduction, "The scarlet letter"
(1972) by Wim Wenders, first adaptation in colour of the novel written in the middle of the XIX century by the famous US Nathaniel
Hawthorne.
You can read also our pages History and Cinema in relation with Alfredo Mayo's filmographyt and the pages of the past months and years in our
section "Former
editorials" and in particular the 26th May 2010 editorial.
We propose us, too, Alfredo
Mayo's film posters, his filmography
and
some surprises more for our faithful and tenacious visitors...
