When the time of "Spaghetti-Westerns" was ending, Wolff had several roles in Italian crime movies. Other memorable performances were in Duccio Tessari's Giallo La mort remonte à hier soir (1970) or in one of Wolffs last performances as a police commissioner in Fernando Di Leo's Milan calibre 9 (1972). Sadly, the great actor suffered from depression and killed himself in the Hilton Hotel in Rome in December 1971.
