A Reason to Live, a Reason to Die / Una ragione per vivere e una per morire (Tonino Valerii, 1972)

Someone in Korea is selling one on eBay right now for a pretty reasonable price. It looks like they have several copies.

Thanks man. Watched it seven or eight years ago. Thought it was mediocre but it was the short version I managed to see on TV. It was the only Valerii western I didn’t care much for. Hopefully watching the full version will change that.

Could you post some screen shots from this release? It would be interesting to compare against the Wild East or Scandinavian DVDs as they didn’t do justice to the film. We know it can look pin sharp in the shorter Blu Ray version, so why the crappy transfers for DVD :wink:

The uncut version didn’t improve anything compared to a very short German version with an idiotic comedy dub, which was for some time the only way to watch it here.
Directing and storytelling are pretty forgettable.

For me, the un-cut version makes all the difference in the world but I love Valerii so… If that version ever gets a proper Blu-ray release it will be an immediate purchase.

I am quite interested in seeing the comparison as well. If there is a great difference, I might have to purchase the Korean release myself.

No worries…it landed the other day. If I find time next week I’ll post some.

Cool. Hopefully I feel the same way.
