Luciano Emmer (19 January 1918 – 16 September 2009) was an Italian film director. He was born in Milan, but most of his childhood lived in Venice. He started as filmmaker at filming Giotto's frescoes in Padua in 1938. Screenwriter Sergio Amidei, found the finance for Emmer to make a feature about Romans spending a Sunday in August on the beach at Ostia. He won a Golden Globe in 1951 for Pictura: An Adventure in Art. He has directed more documentaries than fiction pictures, most notably Domenica d'agosto and the romance-comedy-drama Three Girls from Rome. Luciano Emmer started his career as a filmmaker working with Enrico Gras. He founded the production company Dolomiti Film and directed several documentaries. In 1949, Emmer produced his first feature film Dimanche d'August (1950) with Marcello Mastroianni. Also with Mastroianni, the following year he made Paris is always Paris (1951). In the 1950s, Luciano Emmer made advertising films meanwhile he continued with his documentary work. He was labeled as an example of the Italian pink neorealism. In 1956, Emmer directed with Robert Enrico To Each His Own Paradise. After The Girl in the Window (1961), a social drama with Marina Vlady and Lino Ventura, he turned to television. He made his return to the cinema with Enough! I make a movie.
