    James, pardon me for correcting you slightly re. the title - it seems to be Noon, not Moon........


    Thanks for posting all these new releases.

    Great - recorded this from TV when Film24 was still going, but if it is remastered it will be worth getting.

    As good as this (the official version)?

    The Man Called Noon DVD Review - The Spaghetti Western Database

    The bootleg version is not widescreen and the reviews for the bootleg...

    "The movies look like a transfer from bad copies of a 8mm or 16mm home movies to DVD done by someone on their home computer. They obviously didn't have capability or access to do a quality film digitization from a good source -- shakey image, poor cropping, heavily interlaced, with some ghosting in scenes. The movies were heavily compressed to fit two titles on one DVD which makes the video quality even worse."

    " I was sadly disappointed in not only the very poor video but in 26 minutes of The Man Called Noon instead of a movie I got a poorly produced cut of it."

    " I was sadly disappointed in not only the very poor video but in 26 minutes of The Man Called Noon instead of a movie I got a poorly produced cut of it."

    "The DVD looks like it was mastered from an old film print, maybe even an old VHS tape due to some of the print damage that looks like video-tape "snow" rather than damage to an old film print. On top of that, it should be 85 minutes long, and is only a mere 72 minutes. The quality of the other film, THE MAN CALLED NOON, is no better."

    I think you might like the official release wadsy.
