I have had eye on tis film for a very time. But havent managed to see it. I will do so next week because my video store has a DVD-R of this film. Very exited.
What about this?
Is it out?
Somebody got it?

Ah, ok, I wasnât sure ⊠Ha ha
Interesting story and the three main characters are a good mix which keeps the viewer watching. Theme song is great, but not one of favourite scores by De Masi. Like to look for small quirks in westerns, and the shooting of a snowman was one for me in this. Enjoyed much more this time round as even though I still viewed a fullframe print, I could actually see the wrinkles under the characters eyes in this print and not bad colours in the print aswell. My previous version was more like a black and white print.
Now without joking, there is a DVDR out of this one with a 92 min runtime according to Amazon.com.

NO, but this post got me curious enough to follow the link and order it. Still itâs not going to get here until between Dec 31st and Jan 13th!

Nope but it is probably this one which is described at www.ofdb.de:
Fullscreen tv-rip in sub-vhs quality ⊠Doesnât sound too inviting.
DamnâŠi was hoping that it might be the TCM one. I think i posted a couple of years ago in this same thread about not being able to order it at the time. Then againâŠi guess it still could be the same version they had for sale, as there was no description of quality on their site!

Thatâs surely the shitty VHS copy we all have.
At least the runtimes are different and itâs from a different label.
There is a better Italian copy, but itâs also beneath 90 min.

I just got that disc, and it looks like a 5th generation VHS tape.
And thatâs to bad because the film is a real gem and it deserves a better release.
The film just made it into my alternative top 20.
And the runtime is beneath 92 min?
Yes it only runs 85 min.
I just finished watching Taste of Death and, yeah, itâs freaking great! The atmosphere is really palpable and there are some extremely tense and unnerving scenes, love the subtext too, I was captivated the whole time. I liked all of the characters and the main actors did a fine job. This is also the second western with a Francesco de Masi score that Iâve watched and Iâm starting to dig his stuff, a lot. A damn shame that this is the only film Sergio Merolle directed and this makes the fact that it is very much a hidden gem even sadder.
Love, love, love it!
Felt like a change after yesterdayâs Fidani and this one fitted the bill perfectly. Unlike Mr Deemâs action based fun fest this is all about the story, the characters and the mood and is a genuinely powerful film as a result.
Why oh why hasnât someone put out a proper release of this film? If it works this well in a horrible, faded, fullscreen, vhs rip imagine how it would be if done justice to.
Yes, Phil !
I agree, a good DVD release for this film is overdue.
But this film often ran in the Italian and French television. And Iâm sure, sooner or later there will come a good DVD-release.
This VHS version is terrible. But better than nothing. 
First, i really like this Film. Itâs so great.
One of the best scores Iâve ever heard.
But I have a question: Is there an English Fandub of the film available ?
Maybe from the Italian TV broadcasting and the englisch VHS ?
Having watched DAY OF THE OUTLAW earlier this week I thought it was the right time to give this one a watch as well. I will have to agree with what has already been pointed out - this film is closer to DOTO than THE GREAT SILENCE, distorted to the more inhuman and meaner of course, they were italians after all⊠The score was pretty good and it was nice to see Corazzari in a leading role for once. I would have liked to see more snow though, in some scenes you get the impression that they were filmed during summertime and that detracts from the atmosphere somehow. It isnât anything utterly mindblowing, but it doesnât have any major flaws either. 3 solid stars from me.
Been told their is a widescreen english audio fandub to this one. Source is probably a Spanish T.V print. Do not know the running time.
Good News
