Luisa is not played by Giovanna Lenzi. This blonde actress playing Luisa is actually a fotoromanzo actess named Lilli Rossetti, so presumabe the credit for "Livia Rossetti" must refer to her.

Curiously, I noticed that the recently unearthed English dub has some differences in the character names, with a lot of the first names having been anglicized but, oddly enough, not the surnames, and so Roberto Merigi becomes Robert Merigi, Carlo Lionesi becomes Charles Lionesi etc. Anyway, the full name of Vassili Karis' character is Dario Morelli (in both English and Italian).

I've corrected the listing for Rossetti and changed Lenzi to "unidentified" - since she's credited with c.s.c. there's no guarantee that she appears at all.

I have doubts about the Betty Delon ID from IMDb, since Delon is a complete unknown and it's a barely noticeable role, but then none of the other remaining female roles really warrant a credit either

I wish there was some info available about "Ursula Davis", aka, reportedly, "Pier Anna Quaia" (or, IMDb says, "Quaglia"). She seems to be one of those totally forgotten actresses, like Gisella Arden, who appeared from nowhere to play a number of lead and featured supporting roles in the 60's, then vanished without trace.

Maybe an easy subject for an actress topic at some point.

I'm familiar with Giovanna Lenzi and I don't recognize her in the film, so looks like a credit only to me.

Yeah, it's not really possible to ascertain who Delon is...

Ursula Davis is definitely the same person as Pier Anna Quaia, but I know nothing more as far as biographical informations are concerned.
