Real-Life Ending

Shortly after a Tommy gun cut down Sicilian Badman Salvatore Giuliano last fortnight (TIME, July 17), a British camera crew took off for Sicily to make a film about the bandit's bloody exploits. Producer Nelson Scott revealed that he had ordered the story written months ago, had patiently waited ever since for the real-life ending.

Scheduled for August production, the film will star Irish Actor Kieron Moore as the wily outlaw, with possibly Anna Magnani or Silvana Mangano supplying the love interest. If neither cinemactress is signed, a beauty contest will be held to find a sweetheart for Giuliano. For expert details, Producer Scott hopes to call on Colonel Ugo Luca, who baited publicity-lover Giuliano by disguising his troops as moviemen filming a bandit picture.
