Was watching The Three Fantastic Supermen in the Orient<\/strong> the other night, and it’s pretty rubbish.\u00a0 But… the main fantastic superman is played by one Robert Malcolm.\u00a0 Now I’ve come across this guy before in Piero Regnoli’s even more rubbish And the Smelled the Strange Exciting\u00a0 Scent of Dollars <\/strong>(or whatever it’s called in English), and it looked like he made one other film in 1973, Pietro Francisci’s rather more high profile Simbad e il califfo di Bagdad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But who the hell was he?\u00a0 There was an American actor called Robert Malcolm, but it can’t be the same person as he was acting in the 1940s, whereas our <\/em>Robert Malcom can’t have been more than 30-35 when he was in these films.\u00a0 He’s also assumed to be Antonio Monselesan (who’s also known as Tony Norton) in the IMDB listing for And the Smelled<\/strong>, but that can’t be right as the two men really don’t look anything alike (and a recent Nocturno interview with Monselesan makes no mention of these films).\u00a0 There’s a Robby Weaver (aka Robert Malcolm Weaver), an ex- American child actor who was about the right age, possibly a bit young, but there seems to be no other connection.\u00a0 And, err, there’s a Roberto Malcom who would appear to be some kind of Italian porn star.\u00a0 Was he, like Charles Southwood, an American who just happened to drift into the Italian film industry?\u00a0 Or was he an Italian actor who we all know under a different name.<\/p>\n

It’s a mystery!<\/p>\n
