Face to Face / Faccia a faccia (Sergio Sollima, 1967)

then it is the second title listed under Italy.

The Cover of the DVD claims to have Engl. subs? Then you can complain …

Italian Amazon has the front and back cover for the Cult media disc, no mention of English subs anywhere

Yes, but Ian said:

Maybe the Eureka cover with the Italian disc? A used item from Amazon marketplace?

I bought it from Amazon.co.uk. The vendor may be confused themselves and is selling the Cult Media version with the Eureka spec/details.

That happens. But then you can complain.

I sometimes got Region 1 discs from vendors selling via Amazon, and I always got not only my money back, but could also keep the discs.

US is region locked and German has been sold out for ages, french one had only short version it seems. Face to Face is The One sw that is in need of a new bd-release.

pretty sure it has both, but missing a minute or so compared to the German Blu…

that is for sure, indeed.

This film deserves a new scan too, ideally a 2K HD transfer for both the U.S. and Italian cuts - something similar to Powerhouse Films Blu-ray of TBG, featuring both versions with English audio. However, I doubt it will ever happen, as this film doesn’t have the same following as TBG. I hope I’m wrong, though.

What the world really needs is some boutique label in Italy with deep pockets triggering a whole bunch of unearthings and restorations so that international licensees can buy/license that material. As it stands, everyone is dependent on that the Italian libraries offer, and the slow speed and little interest with which they are doing it.

It’s insane that a film like Texas, Adios gets a clean HD transfer, while this one is left in such a poor state. This movie may not be the best spaghetti western, but there are far weaker ones that have received much better treatment. I feel that if this film was ever going to get a proper remaster, it would have happened by now.
