Re: Fortunato Arena
Dinamite Jack (1961) is an odd one. It gives Fortunato his first credit, but he is nowhere to be seen in the film.
However... French actor Fernandel, to whom Arena bears quite a strong physical resemblance, plays dual roles in the film, requiring him to act opposite himself in several scenes where split screen would not work. While it is impossible to be certain as you never see his face (obviously), I strongly suspect that it is the back of Arena's head that we see in these scenes as Fernandel's body double. This is the only explanation I can think of to account for his credit here.
