But I can say with 100% certainty that this man is NOT Cunningham. He is Andrea Esterhazy without a doubt.

As for this man supposed to be Esterhazy... hmm... I'm not so sure about that. Doesn't seem like him to me.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I think the second at the duel seems far more like Esterhazy than the guy at the dinner, whose mouth seems too big and whose ears seem wrong.

Anyway as always I will go with the majority opinion, but will wait for a few more to (hopefully) weigh in with opinions since 2 against 1 is hardly conclusive.

I'm not entirely convinced that Garrett is the doctor. I'm thinking he might actually be the man in 82-83, but not sure.
IMDb actually lists him in dual roles as a Coachman (which would be 82-83) and a Doctor - ANICA only has the doctor role.

I think the match of the nose and ear in the pics I posted are pretty convincing.

Sleepy Eyes is in 52 (mostly covered face) and 53, too.

ANICA lists Paul Davis as playing a Young French officer.

Of the half dozen roles listed on IMDb the only findable one was Auntie Mame (1958) - the rest are mostly obscure TV shows. I see a few possibilities, but none I would say for sure is him. He can maybe be identified by process of elimination if we get a few of the others ID'd.

Well here my humble opinion about Cunningham/esterhazy.
The man in picture 3 with the hat on is in my opinion NOT Esterhazy, so i agree with Johan there.

The old lady in 28,29,32 is the old lady who smells
And yes Sleepy eyes.

Yes, the old lady on the left in pics 28, 29 and 32 is the so-called "Lady Who Smells a Niff".
Also agree about Sleepy (it's surely him in 53 too).
Enrico Olivieri in 185 is also definitely correct.

Some others:

50: Looks like the third man from the right could be Franz Colangelo (it's also Franz for sure on the far right in 74).

89: On the right is John Stacy (I believe he is also seen in 40).

154: Second from the left should be Sergio Marga.

Sleepy Eyes, Old Niff Smeller, Olivieri, Colangelo, Stacy and Marga added, also Stephen Garrett

I have replaced Cunningham's image with the second at the duel image since there seems to be no dispute over that one.

I have replaced Esterhazy's image with the pic from the dinner with a note that it is disputed

The woman in 33 is familiar i wonder if she can be Nora Marchiandi
Can anyone confirm this one?

Some others:

30-31: the priest with long brown hair and beard looks like Orlando Baralla to me.

76: Maybe Isarco Ravaioli in the back.

128: Maybe I'm crazy, but doesn't the guy on the right in the front look like Enzo Mondino?
Don't know about Baralla, with the wig and false beard, plus him only being seen in the distance, I don't know that this role can be definitely identified. I'd wondered if it might be another role for Esterhazy (him again!)

Similarly for Ravaioli I don't know that he is seen clearly enough to be sure.

Not sure about the second role for Mondino, any other opinions?

ANICA lists Giorgio Costantini as playing a French officer.

Can this maybe be him in 162/163?

ANICA says Georges Bréhat should play the Execution platoon commander, which I think should be the role below.

I'm uncertain, what do others think?

IMDb lists Tiziano Cortini as appearing with no role specified.

Could this maybe be him in 50/51?

ANICA lists Carlo Delmi as playing a French officer during the retreat. Delmi only has 3 roles listed on IMDb, 2 of which are obscure TV titles, but in Ursus gladiatore ribelle he is helpfully identified with an image in the credits, so we can be sure of the ID.

I don't, however, see him in any of the roles that could fit the description, but there are plenty of others fitting this description who are not seen clearly enough to get images, so he may appear, but not identifiably
