Achille Manzotti

Producer, also writer · Died July 20, 2007, aged 63 · Fara Gera d'Adda, Lombardy, Italy

Achille Manzotti (10 November 1943 – 20 July 2007) was an Italian television and film producer. Born in Fara Gera d'Adda, after some experiences as a musician, in the 1970s Manzotti moved to Milan where he became manager of a number of local comedians. Thanks to the friendship with the actor Renato Pozzetto, after becoming his agent he started to produce his films, starting from Luna di miele in tre (1976). Initially specialized in comedies, from the late 1970s he also produced numerous art films directed by Nanni Moretti, Alberto Lattuada, Luigi Comencini, Volker Schlöndorff, among others. In the 1990s he mainly focused his activities on producing TV-series. From Wikipedia (us), the free encyclopedia

Reviewers score the dialogue 33/100 and the plot and story 37/100 in their films, across 10 reviewed titles. The element that speaks to their work as a writer.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
