Moretti, Nadir

[PeplumParadise]

Nadir Moretti in 3 pistole contro Cesare (1967)

Nadir Moretti was an Italian bodybuilder who has 11 known film appearances between 1959-1977.

Some sources give the unconfirmed information that he was born in 1940 in Rome. No other biographical details are currently known.

He made his biggest impact in a handful of peplums in the mid-60's, where he was credited under the pseudonym "Nadir Baltimore". Aside from these his film appearances were pretty erratic and varied from leading roles to uncredited bit parts.

[PeplumParadise]

Zorro marchese di Navarra (1969) credited, as Zorro.

Nadir has the lead role here, but is always disguised, either in a mask as Zorro or in a blonde wig masquerading as a gay hairdresser in order to seduce women (I assume this film was the inspiration for the Hollywood production, Zorro, the Gay Blade).

The Great Masquerade (1974) credited, as Doctor Ravenna.

Nadir's appearance in this justifiably obscure drag comedy is a total mystery. Firstly it is an American production shot entirely in Florida and secondly his role is totally superfluous and has nothing to do with what passes for a plot.
