Thanks for sharing these, very cool stuff! Is it from your personal collection?

I just found in imdb

Brazil, at the bottom are names of theaters in Sao Paolo and Rio

There are two You Tube prints of this:

A 113m version which is in English and flips to unsubtitled Italian - Italian credits - for the Italian-only scenes. Basically the extra footage is a long 15m section which runs between the scene in which Daniel is appointed sheriff and the scene in which Brian climbs into Julie’s bedroom (at about the 55m mark in short version). Alan Collins appears only in this excised section. It is all about Daniel making his mark as sheriff.

An English print with English credits - The Taste of Vengeance - and the opening scrawl about post Civil War lawlessness is in English too which runs 95m. This obviously is missing that long 15m section.

This has got half the cast of Blood at Sundown and I thought must be by the same director as its quite stylistically similar too but no, different director.

Lots of well known faces not credited too.

I think the shorter cut is slightly better. An Arrow Blu-ray would be excellent, especially if it contained both cuts.

In a Vol. 4 box set please :slightly_smiling_face:

I would have preferred it in the box with the other Garko films instead of Matalo… a missed opportunity. I was very happy with Find a Place to Die, however, that film is highly underrated!

Having now seen about 250 European westerns it’s difficult to find any decent ones I haven’t watched but this was an exception. Recognisably as a kinda follow-up to Blood at Sundown I thought it was very good. I watched it on You Tube and would certainly double dip for a Blu Ray. At nearly 2 hours it is long and I can see why a 15m segment was cut for the English print but I am surprised this is not better known.

I agree with that opinion. It’s a better flick as most of the reviews from the past try to make believe. Even Garko called this one a “obscure western.” In the end it’s a decent one.
