Jaime de Armiñán was born in Madrid in 1927. He worked as a writer and as theatre director. His first film was Carola day, Carola night (1969), with the Spanish folckloric super star Marisol. Most of his films as My dear young miss, A Spanish chaste male (1973), The Love of Captain Brando (1974), Never Too Late (1977), Serving the Spanish woman (1978) or the Nest (1980), have won several awards or even had been nominated for an Oscar. Armiñán has created a world that, in his words, try to be “a realistic film but with a somewhat fantastic escape, since the magic function of cinema is precisely to get the public to escape the grim daily reality.
