SHAM033 – Don’t Torture a Duckling: The Archive Conversation

[bdc]

I hope this will be a new transfer as the one used by AB/BU is from 2000 (or earlier).

Duckling would be prime Blu material too..

It should be but I imagine Shameless would want it to sell by the shed load on DVD so that future Blu-ray releases, possibly this included, have the right financial backing. Personally, if it sells well, I wouldn't rule Blu-ray out.

Not wanting to repeat myself (oh alright then! ) if this carries the Italian track with subs (also the English for those that want it) it will sell loads worldwide...there are many forums over the years with people desiring this in Italian...If Shameless deliver those folk will bite!...I'm sure there's no need for worry though as I'm sure Almar is on our side with this (with both Arrow & Shameless we're getting Italian lang on all releases now down to our requests & his input with the suits!) for anyone who's not seen it?...your in for a treat...it is violent though not overtly (one sequence in particular is shocking & heartbreaking at the same time) it's filmed beautifully & by Giallo standards it comes across as a much more serious piece than any of it's contemporaries...there's no tits n slash here! (although there is female nudity as Barbara Bouchet's in it!)...Florinda Bolkan too gives a wonderful performance...what's more to love!

Fantastic, one I've never seen before so I'm really looking forward to this.

[bdc]

Barbara Bouchet is great in this one as well.

[The 4th Fella]

Oh yeah. This couldn't be released at a better time. After having bought:

Lizard In A Woman's Skin
Footprints
Flavia The Heretic
Last House On The Beach

And DVDR-ing Some Girls, Bolkan is becoming one of my favourite cult actresses. God bless all the good folks at Shameless. June is going to be a long time coming.

Yeah it would be really great to have that - the English, well American, dub is pretty ropey - especially the children's dialogue.

But I'm really happy about this 'cos Florinda's in it! - of course it does get (SPOILER!) really traumatic later...

Let's hope for Seven Notes In Black next!

Yeah - that would make for an interesting double bill - kind of a repeated crap special effect double bill - but they are both really good films.

I haven't heard about the deleted scene from the Italian dvd - is it cool?

Also I'm interested that so many of you rate Flavia - I was a bit underwhelmed
