El grano de mostaza (1962)

[PeplumParadise]

The first couple of possible ID's…

José Blanch identified in 3 roles.

While it's hardly more than a background role I think this must be him as a man in the club.

and Serafín García Vázquez identified in 2 roles.

Once again I think this has to be him in a semi-background role as another man in the club.

I'm quite confident about both these ID's and they certainly would not be the only background roles credited in the film. Any opinions welcomed.

I absolutely agree on both of them !

Thanks for the confirmation. Outside of actual character roles it seems to be pretty random who is credited and who isn't.

[PeplumParadise]

and of the remaining actors who could be identifiable…

Rafael Corés identified in 4 roles

I think he has to be the civil guard

Joaquín Pamplona identified in 6 roles, but I really do not see anyone who seems at all like him

When all else fails, look anywhere - could this possibly be him in image 13 as the coat check attendant, only seen in the distant background somewhat out-of-focus? I suppose it's possible he originally had a few lines and closer shot that got cut and this is all that's left. While the head shape and hairline seem to match, I think the features are too indistinct to make a certain ID.

José Morales identified in 6 roles - since Abel did not think my previous images were a good representation of him, I have now identified him in more 60's roles

My only suggestion is the barely-seen waiter below

and Adolfo Arlés, identified in one role (seemingly the only major role he played), with the ID confirmed from a newspaper image provided by Abel

I think this must be him, in a role as a cafe customer so insignificant that I didn't even get a clear shot of him in my images. He seems to have a mole above his lip in both films, making me confident of the ID.

As always any opinions would be welcomed

12 - on the far right, Eduardo Lizarza with dark hair?
64 - maybe Joaquín Parra on far left?

As far as I've found so far Lizarza worked exclusively in films shot in Barcelona, so his appearance in a background role in a film shot in Madrid would be very unlikely, plus I think this guy is too fat.

64 - maybe Joaquín Parra on far left?

I don't know Parra and we don't have him identified in any topics yet. Do you have some images of him?

I checked the film again and that really is the best shot you get of him.

Is this Antonio Orengo? I just can't make up my mind. Unfortunately as HD prints go this is not one of the sharpest, particularly when there's movement!

Thanks, I see the resemblance and since you both think it's him i'll get him added

If it is a young Orengo, then it could be him i suppose, let's wait for another opinion.
