I think it’s a tie between this and the other Tresette movie - but you’re right, it’s absolutely bonkers.
Episode one of Deadwood. F&*$ing $^&%$ !!!
Uno sceriffo tutto d’oro aka A Golden Sheriff (dir. Osvaldo Civirani) (1966)
Well not very much to say about this one. Not very exciting story involving the theft of some gold (big surprise) and the usual double crossing. Interestng features should be noted though: There is a very small part played by an (again) insanely laughing Luciano Rossi at the beginning of the movie which may lead you to believe that this movie is going to be really worth watching. Unfortunately the level of insanity of the characters Rossi plays is often proportional to the length of time he is going to live in the movie and this is no exception. He is almost killed outright. Also this movie sports one of the most ridiculous outlaw names… Welcome to Arizona Roy.
Recommended but don’t expect anything unusual in this one.
Version watched: VHS-rip from cinemageddon.

Thanks to cinemageddon I could finally watch a widescreen version of this hard-to-find spaghetti (?) western. The image quality of this fandubbed version was atrocious (the source was a Spanish TV showing), not even VHS-quality, but still watchable.
Produced by Dino De Laurentiis, shot in Italy, Yugoslavia and Spain, it’s part revenge western, part men-with-a-mission genre, a sort of Major Dundee meets The Dirty Dozen. It’s also surprisingly good. It’s not a classic, but I don’t understand why it got so much negative response. Maybe the reactionary overtones weren’t enjoyed by many contemporary critics, especially in relation to the obvious references to the Vietnam war. Political correctness anno 1970.
Review to follow this weekend
So is this made in 1970 instead of 1971 ?
The U.K quad poster to the film:

I’m not sure, Ennioo, I checked Marco Giusti’s book; it’s basically an Italian production (with some Hollywood backing), so Giusti seemed the most reliable source to me. He says it was shot in 1969, and released in 1970. According to Giusti a European as well as an international cut were made. Other years of release may refer to the international version. But again, I’m not sure.
Just checked the Italian locandina for the movie I received recently and it also states 1970 so must be about right.
Reverendo Colt
Ok film, but I didn’t like the indoors settings.
Date of release is given with 4.12.1970. In Germany in March 71.
I thought the final battle was disappointingly directed. Kennedy never was a good director of action scenes. The 1st half was quite good, after that the film was too ordinary.
In which case I have updated the database as such.

Yeah, my vhs looks better, but unfortunately is only widescreen during the opening titles. This film needs a decent dvd release.

That’s more or less what I made of it
The first half hour is strong, then it falls into a more familiar pattern. But overall it’s a, mean, lean, enjoyable movie, better than I expected (I had never seen it before even though it was released on VHS in Holland)
I think THE DESERTER has already seen an Australian R4 DVD release
Yes, but it seems to be of poor quality:

When starting with Spaghetti Westerns I watched a lot of trailers and The Deserter trailer was one of the first I watched so I hope watching this one soon. I said watched a lot of times there.
You used “I” just as much though 
.
Thanks to the Rev, who very kindly sent me a copy of this, I watched Black Jack today. A very mean and lean film, which only ocasionally goes over the top with a scene-chewing Robert Woods.
