Thanks! That's one I was very much aware of but simply forgot. I've also added a few others that sprung to mind and will keep adding when I think of others.

Land Of The Pharaohs (1955)
The Fall Of The Roman Empire (1964) - shot mostly in Spain but the wrestling scene (as seen in Messina's topic) was shot in Italy

are you including US / Italian co-productions, like Cagliostro / Black Magic (1949) and Esther And The King / Ester e il re (1960) or British / Italian co-productions like Jesus Of Nazareth (1977 TV series)?

Thank you. I'm thinking that if the productions were primarily American or British and with an American or British director then they should probably be listed even if there was some Italian involvement in the productions.

Could the Swedish comedy Har Kommer Barsarkarna (1965), about Vikings that was filmed in Italy, including Walter Chiari and other Italians in the mostly Swedish cast, be included in this list?

I have the Taiwanese/Italian co-production Yi xiang meng / Roman Encounter (1977) on my "to find" list for Nino Musco, looks like it probably fits the requirements
