Ugo Mari

[Ciavazzaro]

Ugo Mari in F.B.I. Francesco Bertolazzi Investigatore - episode "Sparita nel giorno delle nozze" (1970)

Ugo Mari, is another very active generico, present in movies from at least the late 1940s and until the mid 1970s.
He appears very often in films starring the legendary comic Totò, where he often has small speaking roles, but he was apparently credited in only two films: Daniele Cortis (1947) and Suor Letizia (1956).

FILMOGRAPHY TO BE VERIFIED

1. Daniele Cortis (1947) (credited)

[Ciavazzaro]

Let's begin:

In L'attico (1962) he plays cardinal Mari !

With many other generici in Nini Tirabusciò, la donna che inventò la mossa (1971) together with many colleagues, on the right:

As one of the victim of Totò Baby in Che fine ha fatto Totò Baby? (1964)

Together with Lella in Il saprofita (1974)

Party guests roles:

Io e lui (1973)

Paolo il freddo (1974) with Lydia Zanussi

As politician in Incensurato, provata disonestà, carriera assicurata cercasi (1972)

[Ciavazzaro]

As judge in Il vero e il falso (1972)

As man at the inquest in the sceneggiato Joe Petrosino (1972)

Another giallo ! Man in the art gallery in Sette orchidee macchiate di rosso (1972)

Restaurant diner in Pane e cioccolata (1974)

Party guest in Il vedovo (1959)

Audience member at the concert in I pappagalli (1955)

Man in the office in I motorizzati (1962)

[Johan Melle]

I know Ugo! I actually have a very old fotoromanzo where he is credited! "Anime nella bufera", published in the magazine Tipo from N. 37 (18 June 1949) to N. 50 (17 September 1949)!

And here's Ugo with Jayne Mansfield in Gli amori di Ercole (1960)

He's also present at the coronation in Zorro contro Maciste (1963)

And here's Ugo at the nightclub in the Hollywood production The Barefoot Contessa (1954)! Not bad!

[van den bremt rudy]

Ugo Mari in Suor Letizia (1956) (as man buying nets from the convent)

this title and also daniele cortis (1947) not yet printed in filmo but mentionned !
at last a picture of this movie.

[Johan Melle]

Great! Can you confirm if Ugo Mari is indeed credited in Suor Letizia, then?

Also, the reason why Suor Letizia and Daniele Cortis were mentioned but not included in the filmography is because we cannot blindly trust the IMDb or the Dizionario del Cinema Italiano as the information from there is often wrong. Therefore, we prefer to verify performances before including them in the filmography.

Sadly i see the youtube copy is missing the opening credits.

[van den bremt rudy]

yes indeed they were missing.
but great to have helped you with this picture.
i'm back in business - thanks rudy

[Emiliano]

Franco, Ciccio e il pirata Barbanera (1969) .... Lord at the market that scares Franco

[Johan Melle]

Here are a couple of new and really nice roles for Ugo!

He's a party guest playing strip poker in Totò, Peppino e... la dolce vita (1961)

Cool little speaking role for him in Rita, la figlia americana (1965) as an audience member who complains during the concert conducted by Totò and then finally leaves in anger

In spite of this, he's back as an audience member at another Totò concert, but looks no more impressed this time

Ugo can also be spotted as a patient in the waiting room in Il medico della mutua (1968)

And in Lady Barbara (1970) he's an old man playing scopa with Carlo Delle Piane - another brief speaking role
