I just uploaded some clips from the Italian version of Sergio Leone's western masterpiece, Once Upon a Time in the West (C'era una volta il West). What makes this version special is a healthy number of either totally new, extended, or alternate shots from Paramount's "International Version" DVD and Blu-ray. Unfortunately the last one, depicting broken harmonica notes playing over Frank stumbling instead of silence after the climatic showdown, was blocked by MovieClips. All eight others can be viewed with descriptions about what's different through this playlist.
Just ran across this trailer and it struck me as curious because it's not the original "ultimate masterpiece" theatrical trailer. This one feels like a video trailer despite stating "This Summer" at the end. It's the kind of trailer that Land of the Dead really should have had in the first place. The story is simply explained, something the film itself just barely does, instead of relying solely of the pretension of Romero's grand return which most moviegoers couldn't have cared less about...
Jean Brismée's Devil's Nightmare (1971) and Bruno Mattei's Women's Camp 119 (1977) on the Sony Exciting label! Both are quite scarce with Women's Camp 119 being the rarer of the two. The Exciting sublabel produced just over forty titles and as the catalog deepened production numbers dwindled for each release. Devil's Nightmare is their fifth title while Mattei's Nazisploitation opus clocks in at number forty-one. Both are in stunning condition and I must thank the always great Eddie (terror-fantastic over on eBay) and Bill Knight of Midnight Legacy for the opportunity to snag these!
Unexpectedly, I've never seen this video before, my Madera Cinevideo clamshell of Juan López Moctezuma's Alucarda (1978),seen here, now has its "mate" in the Madera clam of Moctezuma's 1973 debut film, The Mansion of Madness (Mansión de la locura).
