Italian producer Alberto Grimaldi originally trained to be an attorney and got his start in cinema as a lawyer. Seeing potentially lucrative opportunities in film production, he started his own production company, E.P.A, in 1962 and released his first feature film, L'Ombra di Zorro the following year. In the late 1960s, Grimaldi made a fortune with such spaghetti westerns as A Few Dollars More (1965) and The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly (1966). Grimaldi went on to produce highly acclaimed films for some of Italy's most respected directors including Fellini and Bertolucci. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide less
