Biography
Damiani began making short documentaries in the late '40s, and was writing and assistant directing features by the mid-'50s. He debuted as a director in 1960 with the prize-winning Il Rossetto (aka
Lipstick), and over the decade helmed such offbeat films as the
Alberto Moravia adaptation
La Noia (aka The Empty Canvas) with
Bette Davis, the occult romance La Strega In Amore (aka
The Witch), and the violent spaghetti western Quien Sabe? (aka
A Bullet for the General). His later films include the crime drama Confessione Di Un Commissario Di Polizi (aka Confessions of a Police Captain), with
Martin Balsam, and the lurid occult melodramas
The Devil Is a Woman and Amityville II: The Possession. ~ All Movie Guide
