Here’s the exact link: Chrysanthemums for a Bunch of Swine. Category: OST.
I’ve purchased from dvd lady in the past and believe me they’re a bunch of rouge’s…so beware.

Ahh, now I got it.
It is most likely only a CD, a soundtrack, not the film.
And I thought we had a breakthrough.

It’s too bad only the soundtrack cd. I have the choice another title or a refund.
I took awkward hands and everything went very well.
The subtitle file is separately, so I can translate it into German.
Most fascinating spaghetti western ever…wonder where a copy may be…if one even still exists…

I’ll be honest: I hope a copy is never found, and it retains its mythological status forevermore. Let’s face it, if it was a quality movie it would almost certainly have survived in one form or another. It’s probably a load of old shitty bumshit and, if it ever surfaces, we’ll all eagerly watch it only for our beaming faces to turn into rictus death’s head grins by the end. Just like when The Beatles released that cockawful Free as a Bird in the 90s. Everyone was so excited for a new Beatles release after all that time, right up until they heard the f#cking thing.

Availability has nothing to do with quality my friend!

What I love the most about this mystery is that we know almost nothing about the film, but the main theme is a real banger. Just listen to Raoul absolutely slaying it

If anyone has a copy of this movie then please add a few shots of the main film locations so that I can see where they are and update the movie page🤠
Nobody has it. It’s a lost movie.

This is fascinating!
Has this ever been mentioned by an Italian in the business or a researcher? Has anyone really looked for it on the ground?

‘C’est la vie’ , a UK DVD distributor of some Spaghetti Westerns, had ‘Chrysanthemums’ listed as one of their ‘Coming Soon’ titles … This must have been back in the early 2000s - They did release, ‘Sartana in the Valley of Death’, Aquasanta Joe’, ‘Some Dollars for Django’ and ‘Vengeance Trail’ , but I think that was all.
Presumably the film was available for release at some point ?

That music is not exactly my type 
but the same composer, Piero Umiliani is represented in just one case on my SW Top list and I love that suggestive theme :
Off topic :
The SW, 22th place, 7/10. Blood River/Ten White Men and One Little Indian (Gianfranco Baldanello) music Piero Umiliani 1974
is a hidden gem IMO which should deserve an uncut Bluray that would probably make it look better to some critics in a broad sense I assume.
With Rosa Nelbi, Fabio Testi, John Ireland, Daniel Martín as the most important characters, and Luis Induni, José Canalejas.

Hi everybody.
As I get fascinated by the fact this movie is considered lost, I decided to do deep research online.
I started in the early 2026s.
Let me try to summarize it:
- I first contacted a lot of organizations in Italy, I didn’t find any copy available.
- As there are German and Portuguese movies titles, I contacted both countries : no copy
- I get the information that Minerva Pictures has the rights, but still no copy
- I was sent this official administrative document (ESTRATTO SEMPLICE DI OPERA AUDIOVISIVA UNICA), strange thing is that there is no “nulla osta“ (theatrical release certificate)
- I also contacted some private collectors, and the director Graziano Marraffa who made a documentary on Sergio Pastore (no answer, difficult to find contact)
Maybe the most important:
- I managed to contact both director Sergio Pastore’s daughters Sara and Laura, one of the two has a big poster of the movie, I’m still trying to get more information
I’m still doing reseach on this nulla osta.
I would like to contact other people related to the movie (actors etc), I tried to contact some people who were in the SW industry (Franco Nero for instance, no answer)
Have someone already made deep research, or had some ideas?
Amazing that this movie is lost, and no nulla osta…

Interesting results, but also sad results …
I somehow still think this one looks promising.
I have no idea why there is a German title, but it surely was nor released here in any format. The title Tote brauchen keine Dollars belongs to Take a Hard Ride.
Must be a mistake entry, I changed it on the film’s page.

The movie isn’t quite lost, it just appears to be extremely rare, see here:
It’s been shown at a private screening to a bunch of scholars from the field, so there might be like a single print lying around somewhere in the archives, it’s just that nobody has bothered to release it.
Interesting research, keep us posted. I would love to see what happened to I fantasmi di Omah-Ri, that one looks kinda intriguing too.
