Synopsis
An outlaw (Lee Van Cleef) decides to change his life and become one of the good guys. But when he's named sheriff, he finds himself torn between the forces of good and evil: should he save a woman held hostage by bandits, or should he flee with a shipment of silver worth a fortune? - Brentwood Home Video DVD jacket
Review
Unlike Clint Eastwood, who in the 1960s was cast as the Man With No Name, Beyond the Law star Lee Van Cleef has a name, and a very functional one. Van Cleef is known to one and all as Bandit turned Sheriff, Joe Billy Cudlip. Van Cleef only pretends to reform so that he can steal a load of silver. Since it's hard to watch Beyond the Law with a straight face to begin with, the producers wisely decided to turn this spaghetti western into a semi-comedy. Released in Italy in 1968 as Al Di La Della Legge, Beyond the Law was distributed in the US in 1971.
