1. – Denis Manuel, Le Deuxieme Souffle, France, 1966. Thriller director Jean-Pierre Melville booked him in 1964, before the project passed to realisateur Denys de La Patelliere – who also wanted him as Antoine. “No,” said Clementi, “I was supposed to act in Monsieur Melville’s film and I don’t want to be in yours.” Much impressed, Melville called him back for the ’66 classic – “but he was not available.”
2. – Hiram Keller, Fellini Satyricon, Italy, 1969. Fellini’s opening ideas included such names as Gert Forbe, Van Heflin, Boris Karloff, Terence Stamp – and Clementi for Ascilto. Keller was one of the Hair -today-gone-tmorrow finds.
3. – Dean Stockwell, Dune, 1984.
