Nos and I asked Shameless about this. They no longer have the rights as there were no materials available although it is still something they would like to release and so are always on the lookout for materials.

Incidentally, does anyone have any info on the Japanese VHS release? It sounds like they might be the only company who've had access to decent materials so it could be worth Shameless getting in touch with them...

The only DVD I know of is the Italian release but it's not English friendly.

Shameless never give up though. I usually find when chatting to them that even if they hit a wall with a title they keep on putting the feelers out, especially if fans express a sense of demand on here...



PS. Love the artwork, Kyle - particularly the first one!

Cheers Sarah If anyone else has any fan made artwork for this - don't be shy! Come and share!

I've added a poll, so vote away people.

Excellent suggestion Kyle!

I don't think I've seen this – I'll have to check my DVD collection to see if I own it under another title – but would love to see Shameless release a 'new' title, especially a giallo!

There are no English language DVD releases, unfortunately.

Those first batch of Shameless discs are among my most treasured releases, so it would be wonderful to have Formula For A Murder as part of a new Giallo series.

Rights issues and decent quality prints seem to be the main stumbling block, but there are so many unreleased gems out there. I'd love to see the likes of Amuck! Smile Before Death and The Forbidden Room ( amongst many others! ) get the Shameless treatment.

Or, seeing as Arrow and Shameless seem to have good contacts with Lamberto Bava, how about his Giallo You'll Die At Midnight?

two that NEED to get released on DVD, and still haven't: Silvio Amado's Amuck! (like Mojo mentioned) and Giallo a Venezia. At the very least, those two have been burning holes in "what's available". I'd also llke some of the missing Cozzi films (not quite giallo, but still): Paganini Horror and (Cozzi's) Black Cat to get a UK or US release...
