You know that you are a SW junkie when you start to watch them in a language you donāt understand, in a full frame copy of what should be in 2,35:1 and in a picture quality that would make bricks whine.
This rare film, a copy of the English version hasnāt surfaced yet (and in Germany it wasnāt released), is nothing special, only a routine outing.
Compared to Black Jack, Baldanelloās and Woodās earlier collaboration, itās much simpler stuff, but at least itās better directed than other Baldanello westerns like Kill Johnny Ringo or the amateurish 10 White Victims of the Little Indian.
I mostly was able to follow the story, but in between I had a glimpse or two in Kesslerās synopsis. When the basic plot is clear, you can understand what happens. There was only one scene in which Woods surprisingly slaps a girl in the dark, and then even more surprisingly kisses her ā¦
But the video quality is really awful. Like a 3rd generation VHS copy from an already weak picture source.
I thought that was clear. Like every other SW on DVD-R I have, I got it also in a trade. I think this one was not from a forumite, but Iām sure Iām not the only one to have a copy.
Thats is only an info from amazon.it ! Sometimes the runtime informations from amazon are wrong (I hope)
I want to see that film in a nice quality. And UNCUT !
I bought the DVD too. Itās missing a lot, mostly small snippets of dialogue around scene changes, plus a few longer parts of about 90 seconds (more talk). The cuts are all over the place, itās not like they missed one entire reel or something. Some of the cuts are very obvious, but most of the time you wouldnāt notice.
Image quality is really good though, and I have the feeling nothing really important is missing. I found this movie to be surprisingly talkative. And thank goodness, the gunfight at the end seems to be completely intact!

Well I noticed that a VHS version is available at CG but the image is so awful that I prefered to stick with the italian DVD. Iām just glad that a decent reel was found.
This is how it looks the VHS rip:
