director.During the 1930s, Fraga was a journalist, a critic and a
cinematographic illustrator. He was also director of the magazine
Cinéfilo from 1938-1939 and collaborated in the creation of
Animatograph and World Graphic. In the following decade, he was editor
of The Century until it closed and also of the supplement Success from
the Lisbon Agenda.Fraga was a particularly hostile critic towards Nazi
Germany's attempts at propaganda towards neutral Italy during World
War 2. This particularly focused on criticism of editing film that had
been taken in a non-believable fashion, to the point that even a
casual film-goer would be able to identify the changes.Between
1948-1949 Fraga made short films in Spain as well as being a
screenwriter. He would shift these professions to the radio in the
1950s. His two most successful films are [[O Tarzan do 5o Esquerdo]]
