To END this silly dialectic with one last FINE, I originally posted here a quick video of the end title sequence of Un Americano a Roma (1954), which I found after I had already begun contrasting the title languages; alas, the video has been pulled. But here is an still image, with the character in the hospital bed “erasing” the “FINE” end title that you can see in the middle-right of the montage above:
