Anyone else seen or like this thriller about a man on a country fishing trip who sees the murder of a prostitute by a influential teacher/professor and ends up in the frame for the crime himself?It was directed by Vittorio Salerno who also made SAVAGE 3(Fango bollente) and is of course the brother of Enrico Maria Salerno who also stars as a journalist,great bit of acting from Riccardo Cucciolla as the creepy murderer as well.
Sadly there doesn't appear to have been an English version of this prepared and Movietime distribution only has the Italian,German and Spanish editions,a shame as it's a superb little film and very easy to follow.My copy came from an Italian tv broadcast on Odeon,lbx and good quality if a little grainy.

Not heard of this one before.
Looked it up and noticed that it had quite an average take at the box office, 73,000,000 (about $100,000) roughly about a third of what 'Milano Odia' took the previous year for example.
There's also a 45rpm single issued through EMI Columbia, so I'm assuming there's some cool tunes from Riz Ortalini in this then?

Yeah there's a nice catchy song called 'Mamma giustizia' which plays throughout,i think it was quite a popular record in Italy at the time.
-
I had heard of this and it's on my wants list but sadly have never seen it. Look slike it had some cool lobbys too going by the ones in that link. Will try and track it down.
-
a very nice giallo, Vittorio Salerno was great to direct massive'n'hard stories... Cucciolla as usual is always one of the best men with two faces
the end of this movie was strictly choosen from the producer... when you will see this movie you can understand why, i don't want spoiler :P
-
Cucciolla as usual is always one of the best men with two faces
Yeah he's a real bastard in this,a little bit like his role in Bava's RABID DOGS.
-
yes, Cucciolla was great as bastard, not as Franco Fabrizi but a good bastard :-\
however i read that No il caso è felicemente risolto will be broadcasted on italian sat channel 'Rai Sat cinema' on June, 18 at 02.25 (time of Rome)
i can't know if it's possible to see this channel from abroad... i think that in italy is in Sky bouquet (I haven't sat...)

I'll try and get a copy of the Rai Sat broadcast at some point,unfortunately my Odeon dvdr contains all the adverts (including a few for businesses/events in the Bologna region :D).
the end of this movie was strictly choosen from the producer
Just noticed it's Angelo Iacono who was also involved in the production of FANGO BOLLENTE,COLPO ROVENTE etc and a lot of Dario Argento's movies,he's also married to actress Cinzia Lodetti from LE PORNO KILLERS and Fulci's CONTRABAND.

Nice! Cheers for posting that Stephen.

Does anyone here know of a program that can re-create titles (specifically the end-credits) ?
A couple of things happened lately that make me enquire:
I was able to re-record this film from the RaiSat Broadcast with all of the end credits intact but, more importantly, someone on the Gente di Rispetto forums posted an e-mail from the director (Vittorio Salerno) describing how the film should've ended just before the final scene. (I won't go into detail, so as not to ruin anything)
Essentially, according to the director (and also mentioned here) the last sequence was an after-thought by the producer to make the ending somewhat clearer. Judging by the relatively poor over-dubbing the scene looks completely out of place and seems sloppily put together.
What I'd like to do is re-create the end credits (I can't use the ones that are there now because the credits are super-imposed over a still shot of the last frame - from the unneccessary scene)... And create the intended director's cut, which plays out a lot better (imho) leaving it ever-so-slightly ambiguous as to the final outcome.
I'm looking to fade out where the film 'should' end (with the music slowly fading in...) and then roll the end credits (same credits, but on a black background)
Any help would be thoroughly appreciated.
-
Hi DjangoLi,
you should be able to do crawling titles in virtuallly any video editing program either by using the built-in title generators or by importing and vertically moving images of the credits (in case you create them e.g. in Photoshop). Even (free) Windows Movie Maker can accomplish that. I think the most important thing is that you find a font that comes as close as possible to the one you'd like to recreate. I haven't seen the film so I can't make a suggestion there. If you don't want to tinker with any of that I can also render the end credits for you in After Effects and upload them.
-
Hi,
Thanks for the detailed response - you sound like the person I'm looking for!
I'm getting ready to go away for the weekend, I'll pm you when I get back. (no later than Sunday/Monday)
Thanks again!

I am against messing with the original film. Sure, the movie didn't turn out the way the director intended. But still, that is the original film and I don't see why anybody should mess with it- cut a sequence and add computer-generated credits. This is just a personal opinion of course.
PS: Umberto Lenzi's HITCHER IN THE DARK is a similar case: Lenzi wanted a downbeat ending that was totally different from the one that producer D'Amato eventually shot. Lenzi never agreed but the movie came out as the producer wanted it.
-
I am not familiar with all those fansub projects and the idealistic and legal stuff involved but one could always include both endings so the viewer can choose between the different versions from the menu. One doesn't even need seamless branching - if a tiny pause (as in a chapter switch) is acceptable it should be possible to just apply different override actions to the chaptering of the video stream.

This is exactly what I had in mind...

Thanks to Stephen for this lovely off air DVD-R of the RAIsat screening. I'll convert this to 16:9 and add the English subtitles that are available HERE (http://www.italianfilmtranslation.com/poliziesco_6.html) some time in the next couple of days.

The image on the DVD-R looks great. :-X

Thought it might be wise to bump this thread - I just noticed over at the Gentedirispetto forums that there's an official dvd due out any day now:

Cheers for the heads up mate. My copy of the Rai print has slight picture break up/pixelation so I'll definitely be grabbing a copy.
-
Does anyone have any idea when the dvd is due out?
-
Found this little gem earlier today on the Movietime trailer disc and decided to stick it up on Youtube.

Nice one! Haven't watched that disc for years and didn't even remember it being on there.

I was fairly surprised to see it on there myself,don't know why i didn't notice it when i first got that disc a few years back.

Release date for the Italian dvd on Eagle Pictures is April 27.

Picked up the Eagle disc today... No English options at all - or extras.
Contrary to my previous comment (which I posted earlier today...) the quality isn't that bad at all... Note to self, when assessing the quality of a dvd, try to avoid sitting 2 centimeters away from the television screen when passing judgment :) It's good, and it has been cleaned up quite a bit. I suspect a lot of the grain is a defect of the original film stock and not the transfer.
Not all the way through but I noticed a possible few missing frames (or more...) in the scene where Enrico Maria Salerno is first introduced and he's talking to his staff in the newspaper office.
It's a good disc - and a great film.
-
Thanks for the lowdown on the Eagle disc mate. Despite the cover being a bit shit, I'll definitely be picking this one up, though I'll probably wait until the IIF/01 DVD of Roma, L'Altra Faccia Della Violenza is released in June so I can order them together.

A snapshot of the original ending of 'No, Il Caso e Felicemente Risolto', leaving the film ending on a much bleaker note...

This is from the print stored in the national film archive and was deposited there personally by the film's director Vittorio Salerno. It was also screened at the Cinema Trevi in Rome a few weeks ago with Vittorio in attendance for a panel discussion.

We will release Vittorio Salerno's extraordinary crime-thriller-drama NO, IL CASO E FELICEMENTE RISOLTO (NO, THE CASE IS HAPPILY RESOLVED) from 1973 on Blu-ray and DVD! We'll present the film in Salerno's favored director's cut version which will feature the originally intended ending of which we could even localize the negative. This will be the No. 17 in the Italian Genre Cinema Collection.

Yes, it's just pure joy watching it.

Jesus! That is tremendous news! ::)
So glad this excellent film will get the proper CO treatment.

Yet again, you've pulled out the wild card, great news ;)
-
This is fantastic news - I had the pleasure of viewing the original version on the big screen last year and the print was in great shape.
Bizarrely enough, I was talking to some friends the other day about this very film (and wondering what it would take to get it released). There's an 'okay' release in Italy on DVD but it's the producer's cut with the dumb ending tacked on. I honestly believe the more open-ended finale of the director's cut makes it a very different film - closer to something like 'The Big Silence'.
I don't suppose they've got 'Fango Bollente' lined up as well? (The Cineteca also has a great looking 35mm print of the uncut version)
-
i've never heard of the film before, and turning to IMDB is an instinct i find hard to break - despite the vast majority of more obscure films being poorly covered (or understood) and often giving the impression runtimes might not be accurate if they date from decades gone by, when films were too invariably cut or altered. anyone else wish labels announcing films would do a little more to flesh out their choices - trailers never go amiss, but a good supporting article, perhaps based upon personal knowledge or research done whilst preparing the release, would help those of us struggling to see why it's of interest to decide if it's a nice surprise or just something to bypass?!
-
Now this has got me really excited, since I saw the cheap Italian release. Now all I need is The Last Desperate hours released in my lifetime. Nice work ::).
-
We visited the great Vittorio Salerno for an interview about NO, IL CASO E FELICEMENTE RISOLTO:
(http://fs2.directupload.net/images/150616/gsef7qwk.jpg) (http://www.directupload.net)
-
He could have tidied his shelves up! Unless he is going for a certain "shabby chic" designer look :-\
-
Had the same thought when we interviewed him last year...
When I played back the footage it all looked a bit odd, with the shelves a total mess.
Still, nice to see he wore a jumper this time, we got his safari waistcoat complete with '1 button' done up at the top. ::)
He's a great guy though - bizarrely, he never seemed 'that' bothered by the tacked-on ending to 'No, Il Caso...' - the only person he said was remotely upset about it was Riccardo Cucciolla who was livid when he found out. In his defense, he let the producer have his way because it was his first feature film.
Really looking forward to this - Is there a rough ETA on the release date?
-
No date set yet.
But Salerno was very happy when we approached him about doing a director's cut saying that he hates the producer's ending.
-
Haven't seen it, so I'm really looking forward to this release. Will you include the producers ending be included in the extras?
-
Yes.
-
Score another win for CO! ::)
-
Another stunning artwork from CO ! ::) ::) ::)
-
Not seen this, so will definitely be picking this one up.
-
It's a CO title, how could you NOT want to pick it up?!

The release date at Beyondmedia.at is February 10. Unfortunately, they have raised shipping cost.
-
Is there any soundtrack available for this? I'm thinking not.
-
Only "Mamma Giustizia" on vynil.
-
Well that is a major oversight on someone's part, if indeed the tapes still survive.
On an unrelated note, did anyone else spot the moustache continuity error towards the end of the film where it magically grows back for one scene when he's at the police station and then promptly disappears again?!
-
I thought it's not a continuity error but that they glued him a new one for the lineup so the witness could identify him and not be confused by his new shaved look.

Finally in my dirty hands
