Adolfo Aristarain began working on a regular basis in the film industry in 1965,
as second assistant director. Before shooting his first film in 1978,
he worked as an assistant director in more than thirty feature films,
in different parts of the world, such as Sergio Leone's _Erase un vez
en el Oeste_ (1968), Mario Camus' _La Colera del Viento_ (1970), Melvin
Frank's _A Touch of Distinction_ (1972), Juan José Jusid's _Los Gauchos
Judios_ (1974) and _No Toquen a la Nena_ (1976). From 1984 to 1985 he
completed eight episodes for the series "Pepe Carvalho" (Spain) based
on the Vazquez Montalban's character. In 1987, in Buenos Aires,
Argentina, he shot a coproduction with Columbia Pictures, a feature
film originally known as _Deadly_ and then renamed The Stranger, that
he does not wish to release in Argentina, because he says he doesn't
like it.
