Franco Nero related in an interview with Xavier Mendik for Cine-Excess; Nero stated, “I will never forget that there was a small company where Jack Nicholson was also involved, and they actually wanted to buy “Django” for America, but it had already been sold to somebody else.
For whatever reason if so “Django” was never seen in the
U.S.A. upon its initial release and wasn’t released until a VHS copy came out
in 1984 on Magnum Entertainment.
You should still have ads for Jango playing the US in late 1972
ReplyDeletesw.django.72.09.06.1972.US.var.mpaa . jango
Horse Man Releasing, out of NY, owned it
They hated the dubbing and wanted to have it redone
Sagebrush picked it up a decade later for vhs
So, Nicholson must have inquired about it in the mid-seventies
Yes. I don't have the ads for Django. If I recall Rich Landwehr saw it at a Drive-In in Texas billed as "Jango".
