"Spanish Francofonte"

[PeplumParadise]

"Spanish Francofonte" in Murders in the Rue Morgue (1971)

"Spanish Francofonte" is an unidentified background actor, active in Spanish films at least from the late 1960's to the mid-1980's.

So named because I thought he bore a resemblance to Italian generico Salvatore Francofonte, though where Francofonte had a goatee this generico usually had a full white beard. It's becoming apparent that he was clean shaven in the 60's and only grew his beard at the start of the 70's, from which point it became a permanent fixture.

• El talón de Aquiles (1974) I'm fairly sure he appears as a passerby in the pre-credit sequence, but it would need at least a DVD quality print to confirm the ID.
• Pasión inconfesable (1978) He appears as a Man leaving the concert, but it would need an HD print to get images where he is identifiable
