The mystery of Burt Nelson in WITH FIRE AND SWORD (1962)
Burt Nelson is an American actor, born in Brooklyn, and who starred in a handful of PEPLUM movies. His most famous role was in REVOLT OF THE SLAVES (1960. He also starred in REVENGE OF THE CONQUERED (1962). That's him in the image on the left. But he also starred in WITH FIRE AND SWORD (1962), the image on the right, and yet he's not credited. I always wondered what happened. Everyone in the list of credits for the movie is accounted for except for a Bruno Nessi, who has not other acting credit. But Burt's name is not on the list. Now that is Burt on the right. He's still uncredited at IMDB and Wikipedia. Burt apparently introduced Reg Park to filmmakers in Rome.
