Missing from this page is 1956’s Full of Life starring Judy Holliday.
Richard actually does get a mention in the co-star links column on Judy’s own Cogerson page.
It wasn’t a big hit with a US adjusted gross of $61.9 but would have been an important milestone in Richard’s career at the time
as it was one of the few films in which Richard was the main leading man of a major Hollywood female star and he got equal billing to her above the title on the screen and posters.
The movie was nominated for an award by the Writers Guild of America in 1957.
Richard Conte was # 503 on the very first Oracle of Bacon list back in 2000. He then fell off. Richard is the # 265 most connected actor of the 190’s and the # 357 most connected of the 1960’s.
These are the actors on the 2021 list he appeared with.

Richard Conte did a large number of noirs. They didn’t always do well at the box office and as such some are lower ranked than they deserve to be in terms of quality.
I have seen 19 Richard Conte movies.
The HIGHEST ranked movie I have seen is I’ll Cry Tomorrow.
The highest ranked movie I have NOT seen is The Godfather.
The LOWEST ranked movie I have seen is Highway Dragnet.
