Filippo Del Giudice, (26 March 1892 – 1 January 1962), born in Trani, Italy, was an Italian film producer.
Life
Giudice fled from Italy to England in December 1932 because he would have been politically imprisoned. Reoccuring anti-Semetic legislation would have caused him more problems if he stayed in Italy, and his film production company Two Cities was later not allowed to film in Italy because it was believed that his board was operated by Jewish people.
In 1937, he founded the company Two Cities with Mario Zampi. After the releases of a 1939 film based on a play by Terence Rattigan titled French Without Tears and the 1940 anti-Nazi film Freedom Radio, Giudice and Zamp were interned in 1940 as "enemy aliens".
He was later released from internment to work on the 1943 film In Which We Serve which was written by playwright Noel Coward. MI5 supplied Ann Elwell as his secretary. She was translating for him as he took on the role of Art Director and she also did some scriptwriting.
