Giorgio Ferroni (12 April 1908 – 17 August 1981) was an Italian film director. Giorgio Ferroni was born in Perugia on 12 April 1908. Ferroni began his career in film with short documentaries during World War II. He directed his first dramatic film The Thrill of the Skies in 1939. At the time of filming The Night of the Devils, Ferroni was almost completely deaf and had to direct the film with the help of a hearing aid. Following the release of the film, a new project titled E i mostri uscirono dalle loro tane (transl. And the Monsters Came Out of Their Lair). Ferroni only helmed one more film with the comedy Antonio e Placido: attenti ragazzi...chi rompe paga which he is credited as Calvin Jackson Padget, a name he used for directing Westerns in the 1960s.
