Aka Lone and Angry Man
Directed by Mario Caiano, 1965
In one of his first Spaghetti Westerns, Anthony Steffen is a sheriff from Texas, Joe Logan, or Shenandoah, who infiltrates a gang of highwaymen to find out who was responsible for the death of his wife. The woman was sent back to him in a coffin (hence the title) after she was raped and killed during a stagecoach robbery. After passing a near impossible and death defying initiation, he learns exactly what happened to his wife. The gang begins to suspect Shenandoah may be a traitor in their midst. They learn the real reason he joined their degenerate gang of thieves: retribution. The theme song, A lone and Angry Man (written by Francesco De Masi and sung by Peter Tevis) tells us that the sheriff has become a lone and angry man who only lives for revenge.

Starring Anthony Steffen, Eduardo Fajardo, Armando Calvo, Arturo Domenici, Luciana Gilli, Fulvia Franco, George Rigaud, Frank Braña and Lucio de Santis.
