Nobile, Rio

[Johan Melle]

Yvonne la nuit (1949) credited as "Desiderio Nobile", as The clown.

After a bit of a gap with no roles found during 1943-48, Rio is back appearing alongside Totò again. ANICA lists him with playing an officer, but he's clearly playing the clown instead, even if the make-up makes him look somewhat different.
