Is there any news on this one? I'm still hanging on to my 4x3 VHS print. As the cult DVD releases come less and less frequent I fear I'll never see this one in a widescreen format. There was a 35mm screening in Los Angeles last year and I was out of town!
Nothing. Last I heard Optimum was waiting to see how some of the war titles it released last year faired before committing to the release of this and other similar titles. I don’t think the war films sold at all well (Severin a year’s lead with its release of Eagles Over London, so I can’t say I surprised) – add to this the lacklustre sales performance of Optimum’s definitive Lizard in a Woman’s Skin and you can understand why the company might be apprehensive about releasing any more of the lesser-known Italian exploitation stuff.
It’s a shame but this is an impasse that’s been reached due to a combination of companies choosing to release titles that have lready been flogged to death and the fanbase not putting its money where its mouth is.
