Western movie

I remember seeing a spagetti western 50+ years ago where the beginning of the movie the star is in jail. It goes something like this, the sheriff says he will release the gunfighter to go clean up a town.

Welcome.

Can you remember anything else?? That doesn’t ring any bells.

A long time ago, so it is the beginning that comes back to me.

This sounds like the tv intro for Fistful of Dollars.

I forgot that even existed. Monte Hellman directed it didn’t he??

That’d be my guess anyway. Hosta may have been thrown off because it wasn’t Clint in the role and it we don’t see his face if I recall correctly.

Genuinely can’t think of anything else but it is less than fifty years old if it was in 1977.

Thanks, a possibility. I thought that I had seen it in the theater but heck 50 years ago, who knows. thanks

China 9, Liberty 37 comes to mind. Starts with Fabio Testi getting let out of jail, but its to kill Warren Oates not clean up a town.
