Not much of a difference is there really.

That's what I thought. I know screenshots doesn't necessarily tell the whole story, but based on these I don't feel an overwhelming need to double-dip

It feels like a relief to me they aren't that much different because I wouldn't have wanted it even if it is better.

Don't throw that at me Marc, if they weren't so "cunt lab" affiliated and plastered their logo on the stuff I'd have it, but they do, so I won't.

This ending of this film ruined it.  Nail-biting suspense, stylishly gory slayings, a career-defining performance from Ivan Rassimov, and Edwige Fenech's flawless baps, all ruined by Martino taking a stab at twist and intrigue.  Unfortunately for us lovers of gialli, this seems to have been Martino's MO in this particular genre.

I've only seen four of Martino's gialli and have only come away impressed by one (Mozart Is A Murderer...wasn't this made for television?).  I've yet to watch The Case of the Scorpion's Tail, Your Vice Is A Locked Room and Only I Have the Key, and Murder in the Etruscan Cemetery.  I'm hoping that I have a better experience with these three.

Scorpion's Tail is one of my favourites you should check that out next if you can.

Agreed,also 'your vice...' is near flawless in my opinion.I think that s.martino was certainly one of the main players making better gialli

Hardly any at all. Will stick with my "NoShame DVD" and pass on the "Shameless" one in this case.  :D

Wiggles wasn't crazy about the NoShame one...Mya's dvd pic quality is identical it seems.

"An early NoShame release: standards conversion artefacts and contrast boosting ahoy! (Looks to me like NoShame are fans of Canopus Procoder.) The US release really doesn't look very nice at all, especially in motion, where the whole thing is reduced to a smear, and even when there is no movement, there is continual inter-line jitter. Not very impressive at all!"

http://whiggles.landofwhimsy.com/writings/dvdimage-wardh.html

Dvd Times:

"The film is presented anamorphically in its original 2.35:1 aspect ratio, but it seems to have been sourced from the Italian DVD rather than from an original film source. As a result, the transfer is a PAL to NTSC standards conversion, and suffers from a considerable amount of ghosting and "line-jumping", as well as an overall lack of definition."

http://homecinema.thedigitalfix.com/content.php?contentid=57403

Those reviews made me avoid the NoShame dvd and get the Alan Young one back then.

Hi, there, mates! My name is José and I am Spanish. I am not new to this forum, since I have been reading you all for a long long time. Anyway, I would like to tell you that Shameless edition is far better than NoShame one, for many reasons, I might say. I myself have got the two editions and, to begin with, Shameless image is widescreen enhanced, whereas NoShame is not. On the other hand, Shameless has more definition than NoShame one. In other words, if any of you feel happy with your NoShame disc and do not want to double-dip, ok. It is a good option is you plan to save money for other releases that may come next year. But if you really think that you will be disappointed with the quality of the release, then it is a wrong decision. It is one of the best editions this film has ever had. There is another edition, the German Koch Media, that could be compared to Shameless one. The Alan Young is ok, but I really think that both Shameless and Koch Media are superior in terms of definition and clearness.

To finish, I must say that NoShame edition is one the worse this film has ever had. The only thing that saved NoShame kids was the extras they included. Regards and hugs. Take care!

I'm more than happy with my NoShame DVD and will only upgrade it when this giallo gets an Blu-Ray release which will probably be sooner than later.

BTW! I bet the extras on the NoShame DVD easily beats what the Shameless release has to offer?

Sure, mate. The extras on the Shameless has nothing to do with the extras on NoShame. That's the only positive point on NoShame disc. BTW... I have a serious doubt... The fact is that I cannot PM anybody here in the forum... Could it probably be because I have not reached a minimum number of posts??? Thanks in advance!
