The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw is a 1958 western comedy, starring Kenneth More and Jayne Mansfield.
The story follows the young son of a family of English gunsmiths as he travels to the American West in the 1880s to sell firearms to the locals.
The film was directed by Raoul Walsh and produced by Daniel M. Angel. It features an eclectic cast of British and American character actors, including Henry Hull, Bruce Cabot, Sid James and Robert Morley. Because of Jayne Mansfield's top billing with More, the title for the Italian release was "La Bionda e Lo Sceriffo"; literally, "The Blonde and The Sheriff".
It is notable as a rare example of a British western (albeit a comedy). It was also the first western to be filmed in Spain - the standing set was later used for A Fistful of Dollars.
