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 II. 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 and 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 and Sangue Toureiro.
