----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Jan Todd, a scholar at the Univ. of Texas, has asked me to post the following query. Responses may be sent to me, or to her [[log in to unmask]]. "Steve Reeves of Hercules fame was here last week to see our [Sports History] library and the Texas springtime. He is now 68 or so and is trying to collect his retirement money from the Italian Film Board [or whoever he paid it in to.] Steve made 16 Italian films which he should be credited for in his retirement payemnts. However, the beauracrats handling his application are only crediting him for 7 and have told him that he will have to prove that he made the other films in Italy. According to Steve, they want him to show proof--via copies of posters or ads in Italian, that he made the films. They have told him that they will not count ads in English. So--what would you advise? Is there an Italian film encyclopedia/directory? Is there an Italian film scholar who might be willing to help him that I can reach via E-Mail?" much thanks, Dan Streible
