Mario Soffici

Mario Soffici (14 May 1900 – 10 May 1977) was an Italian-born Argentine film director, actor and screenwriter notable for his work during the Golden Age of Argentine cinema.

Mario Soffici was born in Florence, Italy and moved to Argentina at the age of nine. He began acting in 1931 and made his directorial debut in 1935 on the film El Alma de Bandoneón, working with popular actors of the period such as Libertad Lamarque in tango-based musical films. He directed some 40 films between 1935 and 1962, including Prisioneros de la tierra (1939) (historically considered one of the greatest in Argentine cinema), El Curandero (1955), El hombre que debía una muerte (1955) and Rosaura a las 10 (1958). He directed and co-wrote with Eduardo Boneo and Francisco Madrid La cabalgata del circo.

He died in Buenos Aires in 1977.
