The Price of Death / Il venditore di morte (Enzo Gicca Palli, 1971)

Hey, Colonel!

You may already be aware, but that double feature has changed. It will now feature two Peter Lee Lawrence films, KILLER CALIBER 32 and KILLER ADIOS, instead.
I like THE PRICE OF DEATH, but I think having the two ā€œKillerā€ films together makes for a more logical double feature, in some ways.
Mostly because I canā€™t see the character as played by Garko to be the same one played by PLL.

[quote=ā€œkorano, post:38, topic:206ā€]Similar to Death Played the Flute then. Edited into Porno Erotic Western. I wonder what that oneā€™s like???[/quote]Slightly off topic but has anyone got one of these ;D

If you look for the italian movie magazine NOCTURNO, issue #86 in the WWW there is an announcement on an article called ā€œWESTERN EROTICO - IL VENDITORE DI MORTE & UN DOLLARO DI FUOCOā€.

Also in some of the italian forums are some rumours about erotic and porno scenes on ā€œIl venditore di moreā€ā€¦

Watched the Koch DVD.

More or less an average SW which canā€™t decide if it wants to take itself serious or not. Itā€™s a simple detective film with a few superfluous giallo elements. Itā€™s also a social farce with several stupid comedy elements. And somehow itā€™s also supposed to be western.

The solution to the crime ā€œmysteryā€ is like so often predictable, as is the solution after the solution. But still the story has also in-between a few nice turns which could keep the interest of the viewer.

All in all not a complete disaster. 4/10

Compared to Shango for me the better release. I was solid entertainment whithout too many boring scenes. I only used the ff-button once, when the gold diggers had their fight, but I dislike fights in general. The nocturnal chases round the village ending in front of the shed were another weak point.

Apart from that it was OK for me.

Does nobody but me find the atmosphere to be great?

When I first saw it I noticed a lack of atmosphere.

Well, I wouldnā€™t call it great, but OK. At least we got a Kinski who presents a high level of his manic extravanganza.

Its mostly the music that adds the atmosphere, for me. But I also liked the night scenes.

I watched the film a few days ago, but I canā€™t remember the music being somehow memorable.

The music over the credits was quite good. But I think it wasnā€™t used again before the end credits.

Hmmā€¦ I have to run the DVD once moreā€¦

Database comment (Korano may not like it):

Director Palli had written the screenplay for Killer calibro 32, from which he revived the character of Silver for The Price of Death. Only now with Gianni Garko in the lead Silver comes closer to the more popular Sartana. The film tells a murder mystery (well in fact two) with the usual foreseeable solutions, intersperses a few giallo elements and garnishes it at the oddest moments with some superfluous brawls in the stupidest slapstick manner. SW fast food which surprisingly doesnā€™t taste too bad.

I noticed the lack of a T

Now Iā€™m ??? Iā€™m sure it means something, only what?

Look at the title of theis thread: Vinditore di Mor.e

With this title (without a T) the guys sell little girls (una mora = a Morish girl, a brunette, a girl with dark hair)

ā€œOh mia bella Mora, no non mi lasciare, non mi devi rovinareā€:
(Oh my beautiful brunette, no donā€™t leave me, donā€™t rob me (of my senses)

One of the greatest Italian hits of all time
