Paulino Masip
Paulino Masip (11 May 1899 – 21 September 1963) was a Spanish writer, playwright, journalist, and screenwriter of the Generation of '27. Born in La Granadella, Lleida, Spain, he worked as a journalist and editor in Spain before going into exile in Mexico in 1939 following the Spanish Civil War. He became a Mexican citizen in 1941. In Mexico, Masip devoted much of his career to screenwriting, writing more than fifty scripts for Mexican cinema from 1941 onward. His credits included El barbero prodigioso (1941), El verdugo de Sevilla (1942), La barraca (1944), Jalisco canta en Sevilla (1948), Crimen y castigo (1950), Ahí viene Martín Corona (1951), and Escuela de vagabundos (1954). He frequently collaborated with prominent Mexican filmmakers, adapting literary and theatrical works as well as writing original screenplays. Alongside his film work, he continued writing novels, short stories, and plays, including El diario de Hamlet García (1944), considered one of the notable novels of the Spanish Republican exile. He died in Cholula, Puebla, Mexico, on 21 September 1963.

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.
