El Topo sums up this one quite nicely. Another one that takes its time to get going but is never boring. Bruno is one nasty SOB!
Cast notes:
Like Topo noted, Constanza Spada is better known as Laura Troschel
I believe Manfred Freyberger is an alias for Jean Louis (who is very good as the miner with an out of contol crew)
The two outlaws with Nello who keep being in the wrong place at the wrong time:
Bernard Farber: Joe Piero Nistri: Ralph

Jonathan has kindly pointed out that Freyberger appeared in other genres, polizia etc.

He bears a resemblance to the ranch hand, Sam who buries the family.
Yes, judging by this pic I think it’s him.
The bad guys in this are real nasty I thought. They look the part, and are very grubby looking. In fact alot of the characters are a bit on the rough set kind of look. George Eastman looks smart when on doctor mode in the first half of the film, and interesting watching him change. Well he did warn his brother there was going to be trouble. Was not expecting what would happen to Eastman’s brother, with him being a Spaghetti star. When reading through this thread this film of course divides people, but thats the way it goes sometimes of course. Well I thought this was a gritty slice of Spaghetti, and apart from some of the music tracks that would have been more suited to a gothic horror film, I enjoyed the ride. Better than expected which is always nice.
Manfred Freyberger in White Fang to the Rescue (1974)
First poster was wrong IMO, this is a very good spaghetti western. Some great actors in it and has a very gritty feel, and good music. First half was much better than second half but still a strong film.
I liked the way is showed why the prospectors-cum-bandits actually resorted to banditry and murder, really out of poverty and starvation more than anything else. I havnt seen any other westerns which show why bandits are bandits.
Mexicans get no respect in this town as these two are treated with contempt.
@JonathanCorbett, look who’s together with Sandro 
Great!
On Spencer/Hill Datenbank the names are inverted. So this is Sergio in no beard version, maybe from E venne il giorno dei limoni neri?
Strange regarding the inverting 
. Looks like the pics are supposed to be from Spencer’s Piedone lo sbirro. I might have that somewhere.
This very short scene makes a nice companion piece to the above pic. They are riding in the back of Bud’s car and crawl out when he wrecks it. They help beat up the guy they are chasing but are pretty much unidentifiable after leaving the car.

I saw the German DVD from Marketing Film which has German and English tracks but no subtitles. Non-anamorphic so didn’t use my whole TV screen and some intrusive noise and thudding on the soundtrack at times. Picture quality a bit sub-standard for a DVD. The running time was 90m7s (Pal) so equates to 94m which is the original Italian censor time.
Several scenes of sexual violence, one of which includes nudity, had VHS-quality inserts so this looked like a restored uncut 18 rated version as the two rapes and the attempted rape had all been cut by the Italian censor to obtain a 14 rating. There’s an Italian language version on You Tube which is missing these scenes and runs nearly 2m shorter (88m Pal). Italian censor cut 44meters/1m36s for a 14 and over rating.
Its a cheap (Italy only), very grubby movie with dirty, smelly characters. Its quite nasty as well. Bruno Corazzari is an especially unpleasant main villain. I quite like these nasty movies so it exceeded my expectations. There were quite a lot of ‘straight’ violent westerns released in 1971 before Trinity Is Still My Name hit the box office.
Main fault, as a few others have stated is the lack of focus and narrative diversions. There is perhaps too much spent on the background detail which seems to be done to create a ‘downer’ atmosphere throughout. Unsually, we get over half of the film before the hero’s family are murdered and even that scene is a bit scrappy as we never see the little boy who survives the massacre and never see Eastman discover the bodies either. Another odd thing was that we never see Lory’s house or family. Too many scenes between Jane, the red-dressed prostitute and the saloon owner as well as diversions involving the sheriff.
Eastman’s hair looked to have been dyed and didn’t match his beard colour.
The song over the opening credits, ‘Walk by My Side’ was originally in Moment to Kill and I think most of the score must be from Moment to Kill. Budget problems with this I guess.
