A scris La grande guerra-1959-al lui Mario Monicelli, colaborator apropiat al lui Pietro Germi (Sedusa si abandonata), si al lui Dino de Laurentiis, dar nu s-a sfiit de comedia populara: Piedone lo sbirro, Cipolla Colt. Ultimul film, Malena lui Tornatore. Autobiografia sa "Pane e cinema" (2005), a fost adaptata si intr-un documentar, Il falso bugiardo (2008).
necrolog in Repubblica
"The sense of humor was coming from me, because I didn't take the movies seriously. I came up with some humour because I hated writing western. I find ridiculous that an Italian, or a Venician like me, writing a western. So, being so detached came about a lot of humour. That's it!" Luciano Vincenzoni dintr-un interviu genial (mostly about Leone, nah)
