Juri,
Nice to see that you're back on R-A!
You are of course right, Simenon's "THE BROTHERS RICO - Les
frè²¥s Rico " was issued in *1952* and not in 1962 as mentioned
in my previous message. Sorry for the typo!
As for the films based on the book, there was a further US
adaptation in 1972 (film for TV) 'The Family Rico' having a
rather good reputation, but I never saw it.
(and.. there was this excellent film by Visconti, with Delon,
titled: "Rocco and His Brothers" -1960- that has nothing to
do with Simenon, and was based on an Italian novel. But the
title was so close..!)
