Edgar Neville

Edgar Neville Romrée, Count of Berlanga de Duero (28 December 1899, Madrid – 23 April 1967) was a Spanish playwright and film director, a member of the Generation of '27.

Neville lived in Hollywood in the 1930s, in the period of the dubbed Spanish versions of the studios' English-language films. There he became a close friend of Charles Chaplin. The films he directed in the 1940s and 1950s mixed realism and romanticism, but did not perform particularly well at the box-office.
