Kitosh, the Man Who Came from the North / Frontera al sur (José Luis Merino, 1967)







Thanks for that :slight_smile: . Looks a hell of alot better than my current copy thats for sure.

Yeah, is this the one you have? Just found these…


Yes that’s my copy at the moment…super crap :smiley: . Will put an order in for the new one.

Is this a comedy/half-serious one? Many smiles on those screenshots…

Cannot remember to be honest. One Spaghetti I stopped watching as my current copy is so poor.

Yeah it is, from what i’ve seen…

Not a comedy as I remember it

Theres a bit of comedy, George Hiltons performance is slightly comedic… but overall you’re right, its not a comedy.

i can’t believe that film it’s better than LAST OF THE BADMEN ???

Received a fandub of this today from a friend. Around a 1.85 T.V print like the one you watched, mine is from a German screening, but with a running time of 82 mins like your one. Have a copy of the Australian dvd, but think will hold back for another version.

Mine was a German screening too, so most probably the same one, but my version was in German.

If you watch the Australian DVD, you should tell us what the extra scenes are about, because I was really puzzled once or twice about what was going on. I guess the uncut version is less confusing.

If you watch the screenshots, you notice that the movies suffers a lot in fullscreen. Just look at the third and sixth screen.

By the way, could you check if this info on Sundance’s site about the audio (only coming from the right) is correct?

Mestizo is at leat one more Spanish made SW form the early genre days which is set in Canada and features large and expensive looking battle scenes with lots of extras and which pays much attention to the costumes with lots of different uniforms (not only the typical Mountie red), amongst them the Scottish looking ones. The fínal battle was shot in the same mountain location.
Maybe they were shot back to back, but Mestizo was probably already shot in 65.

Yes like Sundance says on his site. The dialogue through the right and effects via the left…on my system anyway. The fandub does not suffer like this though, but alas a shorter running time. May be a while before this turns up uncut in the correct ratio and sound sorted.

Never seen Mestizo, but I could imagine that Kitosch was also shot in '65 or so.
I haven’t found any evidence for this, it’s listed as shot in '66 and released in '67, but it has the look and feel of an early spaghetti. For this reason it was only released in many countries after Hilton had become a (minor) star. The movie was dated before it was even finished.

I found a mistake in Anica data, look at the registration numbers:

Frontera al Sur (Madrid, 24.02.69) - naz.: Spagna/Italia - regía: Joseph Marvin (José Luis Merino) - v.c. n. 48794 del 17.03.66 - m. 2732 - ppp: 23/03/67
In Italia: Kitosch, l’uomo che veniva dal Nord

Django - naz.: Italia/Spagna - regía: Sergio Corbucci - v.c. n. 46740 del 01.04.66 - m. 2557 - ppp: 06/04/66

I crudeli - naz.: Italia/Spagna - regía: Sergio Corbucci - v.c. n. 48525 del 20.01.67 - m. 2517 - ppp: 02/02/67

Obviously the v.c. was dated 17/03/67, so Le Colt cantarono la morte e fu… tempo di massacro/Massacre Time precedes this one.

Have any composites been made using the TV broadcast and the Australian DVD?
