Giovanni Korporaal (February 14, 1922 – February 9, 2004), also known as John Korporaal or Giovanni Corporale, was a Dutch actor, video editor, screenwriter and film director who made a career in Mexico. His debut film, El Brazo Fuerte (The Strong Arm, 1958), a political satire that was barred from cinema exhibitions until 1974, is recognized as groundbreaking.[1] In the Netherlands he directed two movies, De vergeten medeminnaar (The forgotten co-lover, 1963) and Rififi in Amsterdam (1962).
