SHAM030 - The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh: The Archive Conversation
 

Coming to DVD next March from Shameless is another classic from Sergio Martino (Torso):


Voted one of the top Giallos ever, not only for its surreal S&M imagery – featuring plenty of suspense, sleaze, nudity and gruesome killings – but also because it this is the film which placed Edwige Fenech (Strip Nude For Your Killer) in the hearts of besotted fans around the world.

There's been a lot of demand for this film from the Labs and Shameless have listened - so will this be going on your wish list?

Excellent news!
Now you're talking Shameless.:clap:
I had this on the No Shame label,and foolishly traded it without watching it all!:rolleyes:

Day 1 purchase for me:clap:

Oh yes,definite purchase! :woot:
I'm certain the Shameless version will be the best English friendly one around!
The old Noshame release was a not very good pal-ntsc conversion and interlaced as well..
Mya uses the same old conversion it seems.

Shameless rocks! :rockon:

Now THIS is good news. Sarah (and Shameless), you've just brightened up my day with a ray of yellow! :woot: I hate to admit this, but I've never actually seen this (don't hurt me!), but cannot wait to see it. Releasing this film almost feels as though Shameless are going back to their 'roots' so to speak with a giallo. Oh yeah!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Some Edwige Fenech Giallo goodness! :woot:

Definate purchase!

PAL-NTSC conversions usually are interlaced.

Fantastic news. :cool:

Even though I have the OOP NoShame US release, I'll definitely be picking this up.

Lovely! I misplaced my NoShame DVD a while back and couldn't face paying the silly prices for a replacement.

I've actually never seen this, although I said the same with the majority of the other Shameless titles. Another one to add to the collection me thinks.

Oh my God.

I feel faint with excitement!

Don't you mean Some more Edwige Fenech Giallo Goodness as Shameless released Strip Nude for Your Killer staring Edwige Fenech.

A cracking movie! Can't wait to own it :D

I did. But to some people, Strip Nude wouldn't count as "goodness" ;) haha

Does this one also go by Blade Of The Ripper ?

I like SNFYK.

Edwige was also in Phantom of Death.

I have the NoShame disc of this, but I'll be picking up the Shameless release all the same :)

I forgot she was in this one too.

Ooh great choice! I wonder how it will fair at the BBFC? There is alot of s&m imagery and bare breasts.

Nothing too bad here I think.

It's the eroticised violence that worries me bdc. But, considering some of the scenes that the BBFC pass these days it might be fine. I'm kinda surprised there wasn't any problems with The Frightened Women.

MILD SPOILERS!!!






The eroticised violence is in a fantasy/dream context so I'm sure it won't be a problem...it's one of Martino/Fenech's greatest films (and IMO one of the best Gialli of the period)....I'm really stoked that Shameless seem to be going back to roots...all this soft core & shite fantasy has not been my cup of tea at all...this will be a major seller for people who didn't pick up the NOShame disc (which I have)....can we now have YOUR VICE (the ONLY one I don't have!) please?....and for the person saying English?...the movie was shot with Italian Lang so that's the way to go

YVIALRAOIHTK would indeed be a great follow up title to Mrs Wardh. I'm probably in the minority here, but I actually prefer Your Vice to Mrs Wardh.

Glad to see this film getting such a good response on here. I know it's been one that fans have been asking for almost since the earliest days of Shameless. I think Shameless will do you all proud...

Excellent news! It's going to be a good day when Mrs Wardh is finally in the UK stores!! :woot:

Great news Indeed!:clap:

Yippee!!!!:clap:

Indeed. Certainly, for my money, one of the most interesting gialli out there - especially when it comes to the feminine perspective of Wardh herself - Fenech's most meaty role, and possibly the only existentialist anti-heroine of the whole genre! As for Lang options - we screened it with It audio / Eng subs - audience had no trouble at all...

Be interesting to see what artwork transpires for this one!:nod:

I imagine the Shameless edition will have both English and Italian audio like the No Shame edition, the soundtracks are presumably both available to be licensed. I like to watch gialli in English, the often dodgy dubs make the films even more charming. That and although I watch DVDs in their original languages I do get distracted by the subtitles and miss out on the screen action especially it's a dialogue heavy scene.

This is a 'must buy' title for me as it's a title I've been after for ages so, thank you Shameless!

I agree 'Your vice....' is hands down my favourite,and when your talking 'torso','all the colours...','Strange vice...' etc,thats some serious competition.
Shameless you have surpassed my expectations

whatever helps you push out something not released many times already... :woot: Not to sound rude or anything but there's plenty of unreleased giallos as far as DVD goes and this has 3 releases already as far as I know

It may have been released before, but never in the UK and, the last time I checked, the R1 releases were very expensive or OOP. I haven't seen it and would love to see it on DVD in the UK.

It's a great film, I own the NoShame DVD but this is a title I will surely double dip!
Go Shameless!

WOW!
I'm pretty sure this will become the best edition of this giallo classic!

Just be good and include the ITALIAN soundtrack, will ya. ;)

I'll buy this in a heartbeat... am also considering Strip Nude For Your Killer... is that a good release?

Yes but it's only in English.

If You could go backwards in time then I wish some of the Shameless releases that only Have English Audio would Include the Italian Audio as well.

Strip Nude is definitely worth the the investment. Certainly a different kettle of fish then Wardh though - the film delights in cheeky, trashy mayhem, whereas Wardh is more character driven and psychologically intense.
Both great films - and both star the wonderful Edwige, so you can't go wrong!

Okay, thanx for the heads-up.

I'm gonna pre-order Mrs Wardh, but what is the picture quality of SNFYK like in comparison to Blue Underground's earlier release?
I heard somewhere that the Shameless release is going out of print?
:D

Can't vouch for the BU release (I'm sure there are many others on this forum that can) - but the Shameless print is fine...
