Dear Charlie,
Only too happy to oblige. As usual.
The scene with the character, Banjo, is from the 1969 film "Sabato", a
'spaghetti western' of Italian-Spanish origin featuring Lee Van Cleef.
It was directed by Frank Kramer (Gianfranco Parolini).
I saw it a year or so back on late night cable TV, probably TCM.
Currently available on DVD as 'The Sabato Triology'.

Synopsis: "Perennial villain Lee Van Cleef plays one of his rare good-guy
roles in this campy, classic spaghetti outing from Gianfranco Parolini. When
a group of supposedly upstanding citizens rob an Army safe in order to buy
land for a railroad, trickster Sabata is on hand with his infallible aim. He
toys with his enemies in a cat-and-mouse game involving guns, knives, and
dynamite" [and a banjo]. Courtesy of www.dealtime.com.
Kind regards,
Bill.
