Rossano Brazzi?


Every now and then I see a famous actor/actress in the opening credits and in the ads and find that they have virtually no role in the film....am I completely mising something here or was Brazzi killed in the crash so that the only scenes of him are driving through the mtn roads with no dialogue?

That was his only role in the film.

Did you two completely miss the rather important/pivotal role he had in the movie AFTER his character was killed? He is the one who gives the plan, the details, the computer tape and the jamming devices to Charlie through his widow. He appears and has a large speaking role in the B/W film that Charlie watches. Without his character, and his wife seeing through on what he couldn't, there would have been no Italian Job.

if it was any good they'd have made an American version by now - Hank Hill
