Augusto Novaro Vega (August 1st, 1918 – April 14th, 1986), better known simply as Tito Novaro, was a Mexican film actor, screenwriter, and director. He entered the industry in 1936 as an extra and developed a long career largely in supporting and ensemble roles while also writing story treatments and screenplays in the 1940s–1950s, later working as an assistant director. He moved into directing in the early 1960s, initially in co-direction, and made his solo directorial debut with “El dilema,” a segment of the anthology feature Trampas de amor. From the 1970s through the mid-1980s he directed a cycle of popular genre and melodrama features—often combining directing with writing or adaptation—including El robo de las momias de Guanajuato, El castillo de las momias de Guanajuato, and La hija de nadie, culminating in late-career films such as Lazos de sangre and El último disparo.

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.
