As with most of the spaghetti westerns, you can't take Giorgio Stegani's "Al di là della legge" (called "Beyond the Law" in English) as anything highbrow. It's all about the camerawork and ambiance. Lee Van Cleef - a few years out from his role in "For a Few Dollars More" - plays a thief-turned-sheriff who has to stop a set of goons from stealing some silver from an Old West town. But things aren't as easy as they look.
The main thing about the European westerns is that they were a break from the John Wayne mold. Far from the wholesome, idealized image of the Old West in the average movie starring Roy Rogers or Gene Autry, these movies depicted the Old West as a gritty, even dismal setting. Although if you ask me, the movie that did an especially good job focusing on the Old West was Robert Altman's "McCabe and Mrs. Miller". In the meantime, you'll probably enjoy this one.
I see that one of the filming locations was Almería, Spain. That was also the filming location of the tank chase in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade".
PS: Antonio Sabàto died of COVID last year. I understand that his son is a TV star, but I'm not familiar with him.
