Comment
Chrysanthemums for a Bunch of Swine would be the English title for this extremely rare western if translated properly. According to Tom Betts it was never released in any English version, and the title listed on IMDB, which was also listed in our database, seems to be not much more than another wishful thinking "invention" of our good ole' friend Tom Weisser. Apparently at that time there wasn't any other release in whatever form since its original theatrical run, which probably was already a very short one. But the synopsis sounds promising.
