Manuel Labordeta Subías (1923-1983) was a pharmacist, but he
committed himself to teaching and was director of the College of St. Thomas
Aquinas, owned by the family.
His dedication to amateur film was very important, not only
as an actor and filmmaker but as a driver of other projects and as an active
member of cinematographic gatherings.
His films are characterized by their fresh, carefree and
adventurous images. As an actor, he possessed a wide range of resources that
masqueraded comic easily via the most pathetic of dramatics. His most ambitious
film, an adaptation of The Pink Paper
by Valle Inclan, was left unfinished as he died during the making of the film.
Manuel was the brother of Jose Antonio (yesterday's post).
