Farewell to Mimmo Palmara, villain of Italian cinema and historic dubbing director

Only a few days have passed since Marina Malfatti's death and Italian genre cinema loses another of its protagonists. Mimmo Palmara who died yesterday on the threshold of 88 years0, the historical "villain" of mythological films, but also the great protagonist of spaghetti westerns under the pseudonym Dick Palmer.

Domenico Palmara known as Mimmo was born in Cagliari in 1928 and a boxer since he was a boy, he attended the Academy of Dramatic Art but, after getting married soon after, he decided to abandon his acting career. Thus he dedicated himself to the profession of rugby with excellent sporting results until, accompanying his friend Carlo Giuffrè to an audition in 1952, he was noticed by Guido Brignone (one of the most famous directors of the time) and after a long courtship he agreed to participate in his film "Deception".

Thanks also to his imposing physique, he became very popular in mythological, historical and adventure films, in which he was often called upon to play the role of the villain. In fact, we already remember him from the first film of the peplum genre, "The Labors of Hercules" by Pietro Francisci (1958), in the role of the arrogant Ifito who, challenging Hercules (Steve Reeves), will end up mauled by a ferocious lion. Palmara also participates in the subsequent "Hercules and the Queen of Lydia" (1959) directed by Francisci, in "Nel Segno di Roma" (1959) again by Brignone, and "baptizes" the debut as directed by Sergio Leone , first in "The Last Days of Pompeii" (Signed in '59 by Mario Bonnard but made by Leone) and then in "The Colossus of Rhodes" (1961), where he plays Ares who, together with his brother Peliocles, leads the revolt against the ferocious tyrant Xerxes of Rhodes.

From there, many other similar films will follow, from "The Trojan War" (1961) by Giorgio Ferroni to "Maciste, the Greatest Hero in the World" (1963) by Michele Lupo, from "The Ten Gladiators" (1963) by Gianfranco Parolini (which should be the first film in which he assumed the pseudonym Dick Palmer) to "Ercole contro Roma" (1964) by Piero Pierotti, from "The Two Gladiators" (1964) by Mario Caiano, in which he plays the role of cruel emperor Commodus, up to "The Invincible Three" (1964) again by Parolini, in which he pretends to be Ursus tyrannizing the city of Atra until the real Ursus intervenes.

There are also several adventurous films starring Mimmo Palmara, from "Goliath and the Masked Knight" (1963) by Piero Pierotti to "Sandok, the Maciste of the Jungle" (1964) by Umberto Lenzi, in the role of the harmonious Indian hero who helps British to fight the Sikkim sect. Also in India and always with Lenzi at the helm he also shoots the diptych of films based on the novels of Salgari, with Steve Reeves in the role of Sandokan: in "Sandokan, the Tiger of Mompracem" (1963), he is the young servant of Tremal-Naik, Kammamuri; in "Pirates of Malaysia" (1964) is "promoted" in the role of the heroic Indo-Bengali Tremal-Naik,who will join Sandokan and Yanez against the rajah James Brooke.Curiously, Palmara also plays a small part in a third Salgarian film, “The Tigers of Mompracem” (1970) by Mario Sequi, in which the role of Tremal-Naik is entrusted to the Venezuelan actor José Torres. In "The Son of Black Eagle" (1968) by Guido Malatesta, the protagonist is Alessio Andrejevic, a Cossack hero who fights against the fierce governor of the Caucasus Volkonsky for the independence of his people.

After the period of the peplum, Palmara becomes one of the protagonists of our local Spaghetti Westerns , making at least fifteen. The first is "Bullets Don’t Argue" (1964) by Mario Caiano, in which he plays the bandit Santero, followed by other films that see him alternating in the role of the good gunslinger, the sheriff, the bandit and even the Indian . Among these we mention "For a Thousand Dollars a Day " (1966) by Silvio Amadio, " And then a Time for Killing " (1968) by Enzo Dell'Aquila, "Revenge is my Forgiveness " (1968) and " ... and They Called Him Spirito Santo" (1971) both by Roberto Mauri, "The Deserter" (1971) by Burt Kennedy, and "The Long Ride of Revenge" (1968) by Camillo Bazzoni, the last film in the career of the protagonist Steve Reeves, with whom Palmara eventually shares seven films.

Mimmo Palmara also participated in films of other genres, from the spy movie "Symphony for Two Spies" (1965) by Michael Pfleghar to the cartoon "How to Steal the Crown of England" (1967) by Sergio Grieco, in which Kurt, head of the villains commanded by Queen Jenabell, opposed by none other than Argoman (!); from the author drama "The Stranger" (1967) by Luchino Visconti (in whose films he had already made a couple of appearances, participating in "Senso" in 1952 and in "The White Nights" in 1957) to the adventurous erotic "Isabella, Duchess of the Devils"(1969) by Bruno Corbucci, in the role of yet another villain, the sadistic Baron Eric von Nutter.

And then again in the war movie "Rangers: Attack at 10" (1970) by Roberto Bianchi Montero to the policemen "Violent Rome" (1975) by Marino Girolami and "An Inconvenient Policeman" (1978) by Stelvio Massi; from the erotic "Quell'età maliziosa" (1976) by Silvio Amadio, in which he is a fisherman who tries to rape Gloria Guida and is later killed by her, to the mafia film "Sicilian Connection" (1987) by Tonino Valerii up to the thriller “28th Minute” (1991) by Paolo Frajoli. The last film he took part in is "A Cold Cold Winter" by Roberto Cimpanelli in 1996.

Palmara has four participations in the historical parodies of Franco & Ciccio. The first is the one about the gunslinger Ringo, where we find him in the role of the sheriff in “The Two Sons of Ringo” (1966), the last film directed by Giorgio Simonelli and released posthumously. It is then the turn of that of the cult of Leone "The Good, the Bad and the ugly", transformed into "The Handsome, the Ugly, the Idiot" (1967), directed by Giovanni Grimaldi with Palmara in the role of the Handsome, ready to contend for a cargo of gold from Franco and Ingrassia. In 1969 the parody of the Kramerian “Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?", However, taken up only in the title "Guess Who's Coming for a Snack?” Under the direction of Marcello Ciorciolini and Palmara who plays Captain Tiger, whose escape plan from a German concentration camp will be wrecked by Franco and Ciccio. The last parody is the one about the Stevensonian pirates, with "Franco, Ciccio and the Pirate Blackbeard", also directed in 1969 by Mario Amendola and with Palmara in the role of the "good" pirate Flint.

On television he participates in two important miniseries, first in the role of Achille in the 1968 "Odyssey", directed by Franco Rossi and Mario Bava, and then in those of the neighbor murderer in the episode "The Neighbor", directed by Luigi Cozzi, for the series created by Dario Argento "The Door to the Dark" in 1973. Meanwhile Palmara began a new career, that of a voice actor, founding his company SINC Cinematografica in 1967, becoming its president, actor and dubbing director, and working on hundreds of Italian editions. Thus he lends his voice to many Japanese cartoon characters, from commander Ramba Ral of "Gundam" to Ganga of "Astroganga", From Sandor of "The Mezil Family" to Sekovitch of "The Predators of Time" (of which he is also the narrator), as well as the actor Takashi Shimura in the reissue of some Kurosawa films, including "The Seven Samurai" , and to Johnny Weissmuller in the Tarzan film series. As dubbing director he deals with arthouse films such as Truffaut's “The Wild Bo ” and “The Green Room”, Oshima's “The Ceremony” and Tarkovsky's “The Mirror” .SINC Cinematografica will then be put into liquidation in 2000.

In recent years he has been several times a guest on the TV show "Stracult" by Marco Giusti, in which he told many anecdotes of the sets of that time, including one relating to the filming of "The Two Gladiators" by Mario Caiano: in the scene he had to give Moira Orfei a slap, but the queen of the circus could not pretend well, so the director Mario Caiano asked Palmara to give her a real one, and the result was Moira was struck and in tears and who threatened to no longer work with him.
