Louis Eugène Pirou was a French photographer and filmmaker, known primarily for his portraits of celebrities and scenes from the Paris Commune. He was awarded a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle of 1889. He owned numerous studios in Paris. During the Exposition of 1889, he saw a presentation of chronophotography, given by its inventor, Étienne-Jules Marey. Not long after, he decided to pursue the new art of cinematography. He bought the necessary equipment in the summer of 1896 and, together with his employee, Albert Kirchner, who would later become a noted filmmaker in his own right, he filmed scenes of assorted events in Paris and showed them at the "Cinématographe Eugène Pirou" in the basement of the Café de la Paix at the Place de l'Opéra. He and Kirchner later produced one of the first known erotic films, Coucher de la mariée (1896).- Costume and Wardrobe Department

Giorgio Costantini debuted on the boards at a very young age but, as of the 1930s, he gradually let go of his theatre career to devote himself fully to the cinema and he did obtain major roles in good commercial films, particularly during the war. The one he is best remembered for is that of the Baron of Sigognac in Duilio Coletti's 1940 version of 'Capitan Fracassa'. He was also a lawyer for Mario Soldati, an English general for Genina ('Bengasi', 1942) and he appeared in one of the first versions ever filmed of 'Don Giovanni' (1942). When the war came to an end the virtuous circle he was in suddenly broke. After a four-year parenthesis, Costantini was back on the screens but mostly in inferior films and in minor parts. In the final part of his career he was often seen in low-grade adventure movies. He even wrote the scripts of three of these run-of-the-mill flicks.
