The 1960 UEFA European Nations Cup was the first European Football Championship, held every four years and endorsed by UEFA. The final tournament was held in France. It was won by the Soviet Union, who beat Yugoslavia 2–1 in Paris after extra time.

The tournament was a knockout competition; just 17 teams entered with some notable absences, West Germany, Italy and England among them. The teams would play home-and-away matches until the semi-finals; the final four teams would move on to the final tournament, whose host was selected after the teams became known.

Spain, still under Francisco Franco's far-right dictatorship, refused to travel to the Soviet Union, the main supporter of the Second Spanish Republic in the Spanish Civil War, and withdrew from the tournament, so the final four had three Communist countries: USSR, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia, to go with hosts France. In the semi-finals, the Soviets made easy work of the Czechoslovaks in Marseille, beating them 3–0. The other match saw a nine-goal thriller as Yugoslavia came on top 5–4, coming back from a two-goal deficit twice. Czechoslovakia beat the demoralized French 2–0 for third place.

In the final, Yugoslavia scored first, but the Soviet Union, led by legendary goalkeeper Lev Yashin, equalized in the 49th minute. After 90 minutes the score was 1–1, and Viktor Ponedelnik scored with seven minutes left in extra time to give the Soviets the inaugural European Championship.

Mario Bava (July 31, 1914 – April 25, 1980) was an Italian director, screenwriter, and cinematographer remembered as one of the greatest names from the "golden age" of Italian horror films.

Biography

Mario Bava was born in San Remo, Liguria, Italy. The son of Eugenio Bava, a sculptor who became a pioneer of special effects photography and subsequently one of the great cameramen of Italian silent pictures, Mario Bava's first ambition was to become a painter. Unable to turn out paintings at a profitable rate, he went into his father's business, working as an assistant to other Italian cinematographers like Massimo Terzano, while also offering assistance to his father who headed the special effects department at Benito Mussolini's film factory, the Istituto LUCE.

Bava became a cinematographer in his own right in 1939, shooting two short films with Roberto Rossellini. He made his feature debut in the early 1940s. Bava's camerawork was an instrumental factor in developing the screen personas of such stars of the period as Gina Lollobrigida, Steve Reeves and Aldo Fabrizi.

Bava co-directed his first genre film in 1958: ''Le morte viene dallo spazio'' (''The Day the Sky Exploded''), the first Italian science fiction film. Because he had no earlier credited experience as a director, it was credited solely to Paolo Heusch. In 1959, Bava co-directed ''Caltiki, The Immortal Monster'' with Riccardo Freda. In 1960, he directed ''Black Sunday'', which made a star out of Barbara Steele. His use of light and dark in black and white films is widely acclaimed along with his use of color in films such as ''I tre volti della paura'' (''Black Sabbath'') (1963) and ''La Frusta e il corpo'' (''The Whip and the Body'') (1963).

His work has proved very influential: Bava directed what is called the first Italian giallo film, ''La ragazza che sapeva troppo'' (''The Girl Who Knew Too Much'') (1963), and his 1965 sci-fi horror ''Terrore nello spazio'' (''Planet of the Vampires'') was a probable influence on ''Alien'' (1979). Although comic books had served as the basis for countless serials and children's films in Hollywood, Bava's ''Diabolik'' (1968) brought an adult perspective to the genre. 1971's ''Reazione a catena''/ ''Bay of Blood'' (also known as ''Twitch of the Death Nerve'') is considered to be one of the earliest slasher films, and was imitated in the first two American-made ''Friday the 13th'' movies. Many elements of his 1966 film ''Operazione paura'' (''Kill, Baby... Kill!''), regarded by Martin Scorsese as Bava's masterpiece, also appear in the Asian strain of terror film known as J-Horror.

Mario Bava was very disappointed with the distribution of some of his later films (which caused him to retire in 1978 at age 63). ''Lisa and the Devil'' (1972) was never picked up by a distrbutor, and had to be later re-edited (with new 1975 footage) into an ''Exorcist''-clone retitled ''House of Exorcism'' in order to get released. Bava's ''Semaforro Rosso'' (1974) was never released theatrically during his lifetime; the film only appeared on DVD in the late 1990s, re-edited a bit with some new footage, as ''Rabid Dogs,'' and then released again in 2007 under the title ''Kidnapped.'' Bava retired in 1978 (although he did some special effects work for Dario Argento's ''Inferno'' the following year), and died in 1980 at age 65.

Mario Bava's son, Lamberto Bava, worked for 14 years as Bava's assistant director. On several of his movies, Bava was credited as John M. Old. Later, Lamberto Bava was sometimes credited as John M. Old, Jr.

Several books have been published about Mario Bava: ''Mario Bava'' by Pascal Martinet (Edilig, 1984) and ''Mario Bava'' edited by Jean-Louis Leutrat (Éditions du Céfal, 1994) in French; ''Mario Bava'' by Alberto Pezzotta (Il Castoro Cinema, 1995) in Italian; ''The Haunted Worlds of Mario Bava'' by Troy Howarth (Fab Press, 2002), and most recently, the massive critical biography ''Mario Bava All the Colors of the Dark'' by Tim Lucas (Video Watchdog, 2007; ISBN 0-9633756-1-X).
