Titolo: [STEVE CARENNE] O altri espertoni di western europeo e cinema popolare anni '60

Mannaggia e mannaggetta, da stamani mi rompo il capo a cercare di
rintracciare i titoli originali e italiani di alcuni film europei che
non so se siano mai stati distribuiti da noi.
Posto qui un pezzo dell'e-mail che sto preparando per amici esperti di
lingua inglese. Se la' fuori c'e' qualcuno che ha fonti attendibili
sull'argomento ed e' in grado di chiarire qualche dubbio, mi fa un
fischio, please?
(da qui in poi, tutto in inglese. Il dizionario inaffidabile ma completo
e' ovviamente il Farinotti -su cui ho beccato oggi un "La terra contro i
dischi volanti" il cui impagabile titolo originale sarebbe secondo lui
"Earth vs. the Flyng Dancers"!!! Quello sul cinema italiano e' il
monumentale Gremese, non alieno da diverse inesattezze ma nel complesso
mooolto piu' affidabile)
 
I also am quite at pains to find the original Spanish titles and release
year for some of the movies you mention. Our publisher's policy is of
always adding in translation the original title and release year when a
movie is first mentioned in a book. I tried Imdb for cross-referencing,
but of course I know that is hardly dependable. However, these are the
main problems. Perhaps you have extra sources to help me out with? 
Page 121, end of para 1: The German, post-Winnetou westerns "Hot Was the
Wind" and "The Inexorable Sheriff from Santa Cruz" (both 1964). Of
course I had to go to Imdb to try and find out what the original and
Italian titles were for these two. I think I may have gotten them, but
there are details that keep me baffled. For "Hot Was the Wind" I did a
search for any German movie from the 1960s and with the word "Wind" and
could only come up with "Heiss weht der Wind", a western directed by
Rolf Olsen which was translated in Italy with "Grido di vendetta" (=Cry
of vengeance). Could that be it? As for "The Inexorable Sheriff from
Santa Cruz", the only German film from the 1960s featuring "Santa Cruz"
in the title seems to be "Der letze Ritt nach Santa Cruz" (1965 and
again directed by Rolf Olsen). This is translated in Italian as "La
lunga strada della vendetta" (The long road to vengeance), but is also
listed on Imdb as "The Last Ride to Santa Cruz". Is it the one?
Page 123, final paragraph: (the Spanish Westerns directed by Joaquin
Romero Marchent). Some trouble with the following titles:
        -"Three Good Men": the original title would be "Tres hombres
buenos". Both on Imdb and on a movie dictionary I used (often less than
precise, but at 30.000+ titles the most complete in Italy) the movie is
dated 1964. I did NOT correct this in the translation.
        -"Taste of Vengeance" would be "El sabor de la venganza". I
found 1963 on the dictionary and 1964 on Imdb. I will probably use 1963.
Then, on Marchent's interview, the director claims Alberto Grimaldi
financed a couple of his movies, these being "Taste of
Vengeance/Gunfight at High Noon" and "Hour of Death". I got the first
one right (it was called "I tre spietati" in Italy). But:
        -"Hour of Death". I could only find trace of this film on Imdb
-there's one "Hora de morir" directed by Romero Merchant that should be
it. However, it does not appear as an Italian co-production on a big
(and, this time, quite accurate) Italian Movie dictionary. Also, Imdb
claims this film was released in 1968. Could that be? At any rate, I
went through the list of the Italian coproductions directed by Romero
Merchant in the 1960s, and they are:
                "L'ombra di Zorro" (La sombra del Zorro, 1962) PEA
                "I tre implacabili" (Tres hombres buenos, 1962) PEA
                "I tre spietati" (El sabor de la venganza, 1963) PEA
                "Sette ore di fuoco" (Aventuras del oeste, 1964)
                "I sette del Texas" (Camino del sur, 1964) PEA
                "100.000 dollari per Lassiter" (1965) PEA
                "Gringo, getta il fucile" (El tesoro del padre O'Hara,
1966)
                "Io non perdono... uccido" (1967)
I added "PEA" whenever a film was co-produced by Grimaldi's Production
Company (P.E.A.). As you can see, the first three movies are mentioned
in the book. However, I can't seem to be able to associate "Hour of
Death" to any of the remaining five titles. Do you have any extra data
on the movie that could prove useful to nail it down?

La migliore colonna sonora è assolutamente quella di Hedwig
.....ma non so dove posso trovarla!!!!!!!!!!
qualcuno può aiutarmi?
Bene
