I've never seen an English language version of this film...I wonder if one still exists? It would seem to be a good candidate for dubbing!
ReplyDeleteLike you Brian I've never seen it in English either. If an English track does exist maybe Franco Cleef will read this and put one together for us.
ReplyDeleteHills Run Red,small part. Navajo Joe, bigger but still small part. A full starring roll in Garter Colt, and no english DVD?!!!!.... oh the spaghetti gods are not smiling on us.
