Eugenio « Gene » Ruggiero, né le 26 juin 1910 à North Hempstead (État de New York), mort le 19 février 2002 à Ogden (Utah), est un monteur américain, membre de l'ACE.

Biography

D'ascendance italienne (sa famille ayant émigré aux États-Unis), Gene Ruggiero débute comme monteur à Hollywood sur trois films sortis en 1939, dont Tarzan trouve un fils de Richard Thorpe (avec Johnny Weissmuller et Maureen O'Sullivan) et Ninotchka (avec Greta Garbo et Melvyn Douglas), produits par la Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Travaillant durant une vingtaine d'années au sein de la MGM (jusqu'en 1959), il retrouve Ernst Lubitsch en 1940, sur Rendez-vous (avec James Stewart et Margaret Sullavan). Et il assiste Richard Thorpe sur cinq autres films, dont Le Trésor de Tarzan (1941, toujours avec le couple Weissmuller-O'Sullivan) et Le Grand Caruso (1951, avec Mario Lanza dans le rôle-titre et Ann Blyth). Citons également La Ruelle du péché de Raoul Walsh (1952, avec Ralph Meeker et Leslie Caron) et L'aigle vole au soleil de John Ford (1957, avec John Wayne et Maureen O'Hara).

Parmi ses films produits par diverses autres compagnies après 1959, mentionnons L'Ombre d'un géant de Melville Shavelson (1966, avec Kirk Douglas et Senta Berger) et La Valse des truands de Paul Bogart (1969, avec James Garner et Gayle Hunnicutt).

Outre des films américains (une soixantaine), il contribue aussi à quelques coproductions, comme Le Voleur de Bagdad d'Arthur Lubin (film franco-italien, 1961, avec Steve Reeves et Giorgia Moll). Le dernier film qu'il monte est Le Faiseur d'épouvantes de William Girdler (avec Tony Curtis et Michael Ansara), sorti en 1978.

Pour la télévision, Gene Ruggiero collabore à la série H.R. Pufnstuf (dix-sept épisodes, 1969-1970), ainsi qu'à deux téléfilms, diffusés respectivement en 1974 et 1983.

Il obtient deux nominations à l'Oscar du meilleur montage, en 1956 pour Oklahoma ! de Fred Zinnemann (1955, avec Gordon MacRae et Gloria Grahame), puis en 1957 pour Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours de Michael Anderson (1956, avec David Niven et Shirley MacLaine), la récompense lui étant décernée pour le second film.

Upon finding a wagon under attack by bandits, two black bounty hunters, Boss and Amos (Fred Williamson and D'Urville Martin, respectively) intervene and save Clara Mae, a black woman (Carmen Hayworth). Upon inspecting the bodies, the bounty hunters find several have rewards to their name and one holds a letter from the mayor of the nearby town San Miguel inviting him to become sheriff on the recommendation of fugitive Jed Clayton (William Smith). The pair take Clara Mae to safety in San Miguel and meet Mayor Griffin (R.G. Armstrong). Knowing that there is no sheriff and holding proof that the mayor intended to give it to a gang member, Boss is able to outsmart the mayor and intimidate other members of the town council into giving him the position. As sheriff, Boss and Amos keep the peace and enforce several "Black Laws" such as issuing fines or periods in jail for calling either of them a "nigger" in public. In his duties Boss meets Miss Pruit (Barbara Leigh), a white schoolteacher, who initially offends Boss by talking of the fond memories she has of her family's black slaves, but earns his forgiveness and develops a romantic interest in him. When a gang of Jed Clayton's men meet the mayor in the town saloon to extort supplies from the town (an arrangement that the mayor allows on the understanding that the gang will do no harm to the town or its citizens), Boss and Amos kill one gang member and arrest two more - with one prisoner being killed as he attempts to escape town assisted by the mayor.

Three robbers, Lylle Corbett (Mitchell), Dolph Kostis (Salter), and Darlene (Mansfield), steal one-million dollars from a shipment on its way to the United States. But, instead of sharing the dough with Lylle, Dolph, decides to kill him, without Darlene (who likes them both), knowing it. When returning to Darlene (his wife), at the Hotel Americano's, Dolph, informs her that Lylle is out of the picture and that she should forget about him. Before Dolph had returned, Darlene, had been visited by the hotel's manager Livio Morelli (Braun), who was there to request her to turn down the volume on her radio. Livio sees a one-thousand dollar bill under the edge of the bed, and quickly knows that they are the robbers; that he had recently heard about on the radio; and that they call themselves "Mr. and Mrs. Smithopolis".

In the year 1968, every day is the same for Dr. Robert Morgan (Price): he wakes up, gathers his weapons, and then goes hunting for vampires. Morgan lives in a world where everyone else has been infected by a plague that has turned them into undead, vampiric creatures that cannot stand sunlight, fear mirrors, and are repelled by garlic. They would kill Morgan if they could, but fortunately, they are weak and unintelligent. At night, Morgan locks himself inside his house; during the day, he kills as many vampires as he can, burning the bodies.
