"The Colonel"

[PeplumParadise]

"The Colonel" in La bella Lola (1962)

"The Colonel" is an unidentified background actor, active in films shot in Spain at least from the late 1940's to the mid-1960's.

He is easily recognisable from his impressive and rather unique big white moustache, of the sort favoured by military commanders through the ages, hence his nickname. From the films he appeared in it seems probable that he was based in Barcelona.

Lo que cuesta vivir (1957) as Casino patron.

A bit hard to spot here, only seen squeezed in at the edge of the screen or out-of-focus as the camera pans past, but the moustache is unmistakeable.

Rather out-of-focus in my soft print, but I don't think there can be any doubt that it's him
