Editing Emilio Largo (section)

==Appearance and personality==
In the novel, Largo is depicted as a large, muscular, olive-skinned, powerful man exuding animal charm, with the profile of a Roman emperor, hooked nose, long sideburns and hairy hands which are likened to crawling tarantulas. Indeed, Emilio Largo's surname means "play slowly and broadly".<ref name="Simpson2002">{{cite book|last=Simpson|first=Paul|title=The Rough Guide to James Bond: The Films, the Novels, the Villains|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BikCz7XZijEC&pg=RA1-PA78|access-date=12 December 2012|year=2002|publisher=Rough Guides|isbn=978-1-84353-142-5|page=1}}</ref> Adolfo Celi strongly resembles his literary counterpart in the film adaptation. However, his white hair contrasts with the pomaded black hair that Fleming specified in the novel, and he wears a black [[eye patch]] over his left eye for reasons that remain unexplained. His powerful influence and command is exhibited at the beginning of the film when a traffic warden begins to protest against Largo's parking in Paris but quickly corrects himself when he sees Largo step out of his [[Ford Thunderbird (fourth generation)|Ford Thunderbird]] on the way to a SPECTRE meeting.<ref name="Tting2007">{{cite book|last=Tting|first=Kerstin J|title="Grow Up, 007!" – James Bond Over the Decades: Formula Vs.

Celi's voice was dubbed by [[Robert Rietty]] (who previously dubbed the voice of [[Timothy Moxon]]'s character John Strangways in ''[[Dr. No (film)|Dr. No]]'' and later a man played by [[John Hollis]] resembling Ernst Stavro Blofeld, in ''[[For Your Eyes Only (film)|For Your Eyes Only]]''). Rietty also played an Italian Minister in ''Never Say Never Again''.<ref name="Fairclough2002">{{cite book|last=Fairclough|first=Robert|title=The Prisoner: The Official Companion to the Classic TV Series|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zIOFAAAAIAAJ|access-date=12 December 2012|date=1 October 2002|publisher=I Books|isbn=978-0-7434-5256-4|page=32}}</ref>
