He never completely severed his ties with the theater and often returned to appear in plays directed by Giorgio Strehler. Pistilli made his feature film debut with an uncredited role in ''Dark Passage'' (1947). He appeared in many spaghetti Westerns such as ''The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'' (1966) (as the priest brother of Eli Wallach's character Tuco) and in ''For a Few Dollars More'' (1965) as the cunning second-in-command Groggy (his first credited film role).

He also appeared as the main villain in ''Death Rides a Horse'' (1967).

Pistilli committed suicide in his home in Milan just before he was scheduled to appear in the final performance of Terence Rattigan's ''Tosca'' April 21, 1996.〔 The program was panned by critics and audiences and that might have contributed to Pistilli's state of mind.

In his note he apologized to her for the spiteful statements released in the published interview. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luigi Pistilli」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
