Corevi, Antonio

[PeplumParadise]

Antonio Corevi, in Cineguida 1956

Antonio Corevi was a prolific actor/generico (he's one of those borderline cases who could fit into either category since he had a number of small speaking roles) active from around 1940 through to the end of the 60's, and even in odd roles through the 70's and 80's.

In the 50's he was credited for a number of his roles, but moving into the 60's his credits became infrequent. From the mid-50's he is usually easily identifiable for his thick white hair.

No Antonio!

Films where Antonio is credited as appearing somewhere online, but was not found

• Giglio infranto (1956) ANICA. There is a "Bruno Corevi" credited, but Rudy, Johan, Dan and myself have all searched for Antonio with no luck, so this Bruno is presumably a different actor.
• I delfini (1960) IMDb as "General". Searched for but not found.
• Angélique, marquise des Anges [Angelica] (1964) ANICA with no role. I have searched this film thoroughly and, even allowing that he could be hidden beneath an 18th century wig, Antonio is nowhere to be seen.
• The Honey Pot (1967) Does not appear. IMDb says that a number of actors, including Corevi and Frank Latimore, filmed scenes that were deleted from the film. There were apparently 18 minutes cut between the film’s initial opening and wide release, and it’s the shorter version which is available on DVD and blu-ray.

Fabiola (1949) as Christian. This is the earliest image I have of Antonio, and the only one before he acquired his familiar white hair, though he was appearing in films for at least 9 years before this, so hopefully more early images will be forthcoming. Antonio is behind, third from the right.
