Amedeo Nazzari (10 December 1907 – 7 November 1979) was an Italian actor. Nazzari was one of the leading figures of Italian classic cinema, often considered a local variant of the Australian-American star Errol Flynn. Although he emerged as a star during the Fascist era, Nazzari's popularity continued well into the post-war years.

Biography

Amedeo Nazzari fait des études d'ingénieur, mais se passionne très vite pour le théâtre. Il s'impose au public en jouant notamment au Théâtre grec de Syracuse dans la compagnie de Gualtiero Tumiati. Il fait ses débuts au cinéma, en 1936, dans un film de Guido Brignone. Il rencontre le succès avec Cavalleria de Goffredo Alessandrini. Il deviendra bientôt un des acteurs préférés du public italien (un référendum organisé en 1940 par la revue Cinema le classe nettement en tête). Dès lors, il tournera sans discontinuer dans les rôles les plus divers. Il incarne des héros dans des productions inspirées par le fascisme italien comme Luciano Serra pilota (1938) de Goffredo Alessandrini, devenu cinéaste quasi officiel du régime mussolinien. Après la guerre, il connaît, aux côtés d'Yvonne Sanson le succès dans les mélodrames de Raffaello Matarazzo. Amedeo Nazzari est une figure emblématique du cinéma populaire italien.

Set in Italian East Africa (Ethiopia) during WW2, the wartime comedy plays on the clash between Richardson (Niven), a typical product of the British officer corps (quiet, methodic, but often stubborn and unprepared to deal with the unexpected) and the flamboyant Blasi, who tries desperately to appear ruthless and efficient (just like the Italian Fascist Regime pretended for years to be) but is at heart just a 'poor devil' trying to box above his weight.
