This paper shows that the Cremona quartic curve \(\{t^ 4,t^ 3s,ts^ 3,s^ 4\}\) is not set-theoretically a complete intersection of two quartic surfaces if the characteristic of the base field (algebraically closed) is different from 2 and 3. This may shed some light on the general problem whether a projective space curve is always set- theoretically a complete intersection. Note that the first author [Rend. Semin. Mat. Univ. Padova 65, 177-190 (1981; Zbl 0492.14020)] has proven that this curve is not set-theoretically a complete intersection of any pair of surfaces of degrees 3 and 4 and that this result has been generalized by \textit{E. Stagnaro} [Rend. Accad. Naz. Sci. Detta XL, V. Ser., Mem. Mat. 7, No.1, 51-87 (1983; Zbl 0545.14025)] to any rational non-singular quartic curve.
