Its in the beginning, after the credits- when Clay and Fred are laying down and Clay is grabbing his hand. He has two flashbacks, one of them is where some bounty hunters sneak up on Fred at night time, and then Clay comes out and shoots at them, then puts his gun to one of their heads, takes his hat and walks away laughing. The cut happens as heās walking away laughing.
The cut happens at exactly 5:53 (5m53s) in my composite edit
i donāt have this scene, after the credits, which is it at the 3 minute mark we have immediately the campfire scene, and the flashback with Clay as a childā¦speaking of a cut film
Fascinating discussion. And 2 new members to boot. Welcome Tabernas and md19261991. So there is no known Italian print of this? That could open up a new can.
Theoretically the missing scene, if it actually exists, must be in the original print MGM used for their DVD release. If it wasnāt, then they would have had nothing to cut out there.
But then, no one has actually seen this scene, so we donāt really know either
Had the MGM DVD for years but I always postponed its viewing for some strange reason. I saw it today, finally.
Itās a quite good one and way above average. After having read a few comments posted here, I realized that it wasnāt my occasional lack of attention that made me wonder why the film didnāt make much sense at some points as itās heavily cut. Didnāt have a particular problem with the score like some people did. Funny thing is I was expecting during the film a different and more bleak ending as I thought it would fit more to the general mood andā¦ voila! I read here that thereās an alternate one as well. Shame they didnāt use it on the DVD. Hope to see the complete uncut version of it one day. 3,5-4 stars
Let me know if still looking and I can take care of that for you.
Likewise if I failed to deliver to anyone I said Iād get a copy to, please let me know. Times they beenāa rough here for a spell & I lost track of some things while trying to survive out in the desert
I would still very much like to see your composite version, having read Sherpās glowing review of it; I would downlode it off from the usual back channels, but my internet connection is simply too slow to do it. How do you want to do this? I have tried to PM you, but your inbox is full.
EDIT: Donāt worry about it autephex, other forum members have already sorted it.
Thereās a seller on Ebay called Theitaliancoffins who recently sold the composite version, but I avoided it, due to the price. 9.99 for a dvd-r was too rich for my blood.
[quote=āscherpschutter, post:156, topic:271ā]Iāve got a copy, Farmer_J. Created it for John, but he got a copy from a person living in Britain.
Itās free
I guess I still have your address, so tell me if you want it[/quote]
Yes please ;D, and is it possible for A Gunman Called Dakota too? Even if the quality is shite.
@ ENNIO, yes he makes over 100s of pounds each time too, he has them all at 9.99, and almost each time, about 70% of them sell. Its stupid.
I used to get mine from TwistedAnger.com, but heās not in business anymore.
Thanks to Phil, I was able to recently watch autephexās composite cut of Franco Giraldiās A Minute to Pray, A Second to Die (1968). Itās an excellent, powerful Spaghetti Western, with an unusually sympathetic authority figure in Robert Ryan. Alex Cord as the hunted bandit is very good as well, as is Arthur Kennedy as the treacherous sheriff. The direction is intense and sustained, so that overall it achieves a strong coherence and impact, while the action is expertly handled. One of the best Spaghetti Westerns Iāve seen this year, and another candidate for my Top Twenty.
