Director
José Luis Sáenz de Heredia
Storyline
Evelio Galindo is a normal man who has a porcelain shop, but one day, during a game of dominoes, he has a big argument with Horcajo that ends in tragedy, as he challenges his opponent to death. As the game progresses, Evelio will realise the mistake he has made, trying to achieve by any means with the help of his friend Leoncio, something that will not be so simple. (adapted from IMDb)

Unidentified actors
Unidentified credited actors
- Mari Ángeles Acevedo - I attempted to identify her, but the best ID I could get was some poor quality images from the 70's. With 3 or 4 unidentified female roles that could be credited I wouldn't like to guess at which she could be.
- Vicente del Águila - He has 13 roles listed on IMDb and from the sort of roles he is listed with I think it is safe to say he was a stuntman, but I was unable to identify him in the only 60's role listed and the only other roles where he may be identifiable date from the 80's.
- Alfonso Gonzalez - IMDb has 20 profiles under this name and a number more using variations. He is not listed on IMDb so there is no link to tell us which of these he should be. I searched as best I could, but did not find any profiles that were active as actors in the early 60's, so this may be his only credit.
- José Morales - He's someone who I always seem to struggle to identify and here is no exception.
- Pedro Oliver - He is at least included on IMDb, however the actor profile linked to consists of 13 films, 5 of which are Mexican productions from the 1940's and the remainder are Spanish films from the 1960's, so it would seem probable, though not certain, that these are 2 different actors of the same name. The only ones listed with roles are the Mexican productions.
- Joaquín Pamplona - Identified, but not satisfactorily matched.
- Enrique Plata - The only actor listed by this name on IMDb is a stuntman who has 6 listings between 1980-2001, mostly for "stunts" and none with roles. Whether or not this could be the same actor in a film from 1962 is another question.
- José Uria - He has 2 credits listed on IMDb (this title is missing). We previously were unable to identify him in our topic for one of those, I tre sergenti del Bengala, due to the role he is listed as playing in the press book not being found.
Uncredited actors listed as appearing by other sources, but not identified
- Margot Cottens - IMDb with no role. I'm familiar with Cottens, but don't recognise her in the images.

|
- This is a significant speaking role that I would expect to be credited, also in 54
|

|
- Could this be Antonio Orengo on the right? He did have dark hair (probably dyed) in other roles from 62/63, so???
|

|
- and might that be Juanita Jimenez? Again I'm not sure

- I think that is probably "Vela Hijo's Twin" out-of-focus in the background, but he really is not seen clearly enough to make a certain ID
|

|
- This is a significant speaking role so I would expect him to be among the higher-billed unidentified actors

Could Canalejas maybe be the police officer in 85?
Indeed; I think you're right.
