Can someone explain how one walks from Italy to Wales? He must have really long legs.

I can honestly say Victor Spinetti is sui generis. Have seen him in about a dozen plays over the years, and his one of a kind brilliance always comes shining through. Strange, really, that he is not more famous than he is. Talents like his come around only a couple of times in a generation. The appearances in the Beatles films, although delightful, are really the least of it. Although one has to ask: whatever happened to the sweater he wore in A Hard Day's Night? More febrile than fair Isle-- hopefully he still owns it. It must be worth a fortune.

==Amazing though it is, many unemployed Italians made the journey to Britain on foot (apart from the watery bits). I don't have attribution for this - as for Victor's grandad, V himself said so on BBC Radio 4 in 2005 - perhaps someone else could provide other examples of this Gwaka Lumpa

Birthdate?

I can find no record of this birth on the date specified at findmypast.com. I would widen the search but I don't want to embarrass him by adding anything to his currently alleged age! (Not that he seems the type to care too much about such things.) Nor can I find any independent source. Any ideas? Martinevans123 (talk) 20:25, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think his wonderful performance in "Start the Revolution Without Me" must be mentioned. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066402/ Hardy Villwock from Flensburg, Germany.
