[Johan Melle]

I have been searching through my old fotoromanzo magazines to look for "new" generici and in one magazine I found an article about Enzo Cerusico that includes a picture from the film No. Il caso è felicemente risolto (1973) - and look who is in the picture together with Cerusico!

Emiliano reply: I cannot find our man in that role. In the movie, for this scene there are others actors that play the policemen.

This thing is happened probably because they have tried most photogenic actors to make the publicity photos.
