I concur, just got my copy in the mail today and itās a great release. I already had this on a Wild East double bill but here the film runs 2 mins longer the picture quality is an upgrade so I am a happy gunslinger.
Both Gonzalo BraƱa and Francisco R. Alacid are in the 1966 Spanish movie Cotolay, now available on YouTube as El niƱo y el lobo.
Our henchman named Sam is in, thereās no doubt about it! The guy on the left could be the same actor who plays Peter, but having checked quickly Iām not sure of that.

After watching Cotolay, the more I compare the guy in El Cadete San Martin, Iām seeing him, if you shaved Sam, the woodcutter or the Mounters son, or put a beard on him. The YouTube video is too low resolution to see facial lines but these all may be the same guy.
Looks like youāre on to Peter and the other woodcutter too
Good, it looks like we finally found out which of the two is Gonzalo!
Isnāt the other bearded henchman on Reply #38, 2nd pic Rafael Vaquero?
Yes, but the guy behind him is also familiar.

Surely āShenendoahā has been used because that was the title of the recent James Stewart movie?
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you ā¦ a spiritually uplifting interlude amidst all the brutalities and ugliness of Italian Westerns. 
Credits page has been created for Una Bara per lo Sceriffo (A Coffin for the Sheriff)

Canāt say this is one of Steffenās top films but itās definitely enjoyable. I need to get around to ranking them all when I can. I think my top five Steffenās at the moment are:
- Apocalypse Joe
- Django the Bastard
- No Room to Die
- A Man Called Django
- They Believed He Was a Saint (or possibly Gentleman Killer)
This one is somewhere in the middle. I think I prefer Seven Dollars on the Red but this one is certainly better than Some Dollars for Django and miles better than Tequila/Fuzzy the Hero.

I have a soft spot for A Coffin for the Sheriff. It certainly has some pretty naive moments, and some cheap looking hats, but in general it has everything I want from an early SW, including a soundtrack by de Masi slowly finding his own Western style. As a bonus thereās Arturo Dominici who I love to see if heās cast well (heās perfect in Castle of Blood, for instance).

For some reason I had no recollection of watching it until I realised it was one of the few westerns I watched on Amazon prime. Iām glad I gave it another try. I definitely like it because I also enjoy these early spaghetti-paellas. The German DVD is very good, too!
Viewed the Wild East version today. I enjoyed the movie. Pretty good early SW, with plenty of typical SW traitsā¦ā¦ never gonna break any ground, but certainly kept me entertained. 3/5 for me.
