It’s difficult to determine if and how much it was optically stretched. 

I didn’t find a match, but a close digital approximation (for the uppercase) would be Rider.

 

Thanks for looking into this. I suspect it's an Italian(?) wood cut typeface, though I haven't been able to ID it from any catalogs I have access to.  If it has been stretched, there is a possible non stretched source in the titling, attached below. 

Sorry, still finding nothing closer.

I doubt it would be Italian, since in that case there should be accented characters, at least in lowercase, contrary to what seems to be in the title cards (see «realtà» spelled as «realta’»).

I think it could be a typeface specifically designed for film, thus outside the usual foundry market.

Thanks again for taking the time to look into this.
