Biography

Luciano Ercoli fait ses premiers pas au cinéma comme assistant réalisateur pour Zeglio, Francisci, Matarazzo et Fregonese.

Il participe à des coproductions franco-italiennes (Fantomas, Le Gentleman de Cocody et Furia à Bahia pour OSS 117), produit deux films avec Totò en vedette ainsi que trois réalisations de Duccio Tessari (dont le diptyque de Western spaghetti Ringo avec Giuliano Gemma) qui lancent la carrière de l'actrice espagnole Nieves Navarro.

Il passe à la réalisation en 1970, s'illustrant dans le giallo avec des titres comme Photo interdite d'une bourgeoise, Nuits d'amour et d'épouvante, La mort caresse à minuit ou Troppo rischio per un uomo solo avec Nieves Navarro qui tient maintenant la vedette sous le pseudonyme de Susan Scott.
Ercoli, « un des premiers réalisateurs à être monté dans le train du thriller », réalise un film de genre poliziottesco (La polizia ha le mani legate) et une comédie policière (La bidonata) puis se retire du cinéma après avoir hérité d'une fortune.

Luciano Ercoli a épousé Nieves Navarro en 1972. Après avoir longtemps vécu en Italie, le couple s'était ensuite installé à Barcelone.
