It could be possible that the Spanish credits include additional actors, but I have not been able to find a Spanish print to confirm this..

Helga plays 2 roles as identical twins using split screen, but they are dressed identically and there is no way to tell them apart.

Unidentified actors

Uncredited actors listed as appearing by other sources, but not identified

• Vicente del Aguila - EdCE. He was a Spanish stuntman, but so far I have been unable to identify him. He is also credited, but unidentified, in El grano de mostaza (1962), one of only 2 credits he has in the 60's, but I don't see anyone who seems like they may be a stuntman who is present in both films.
• Diana Sorel - EdCE.

The police station, prison and casino scenes were shot in Italy and also one airport scene where you see Mondino and Mr. Chinny.

The remaining airport scenes and the party, nightclub, bullfight and bank scenes were shot in Spain.

Images 7-16 were shot in London, so the actors in these shots are presumably British.

I haven't been able to work out where the pool and terrace overlooking the sea were shot since the only actors identified in these scenes are credited ones.

Images 90-93 and 98-110 were shot in Turkey, so the actors in these shots are presumably Turkish.

I'm wondering if this could be Gustavo Simeone?

Simeone appears credited in both the sequel, Il marchio di Kriminal (in a different role) and also in the similar comic adaptation Satanik. Curiously his only other known credit is in yet another crime comic adaptation, Mister X.

Any opinions welcomed

I would say he is the same in the 3 movies.

As always in this kind of casino scenes in pic 64 on the right we have Guido Barlocci, even if it is not made clear if he plays his usual croupier role or he is a guest, maybe he is more a guest since he is not seated like Umberto Fantoni.

Thanks, I thought so too. With only 3 credited roles he could be a generico. I'll be making a topic for the sequel next, so I will make a topic for him also as we now have an undocumented role for him.
