Possibly the worst film I've ever seen. Ringo must have been really worried about finding work! Demeaning by design to every character and just plain perverse. If you like Mano a Mano genital torture, half naked women being chased across a barren plain by men on horseback, repeated rape scenes, and mindless murder, you'll love this film. Just plain awful. If Ringo was smart he would have used his Beatles royalties to buy every copy and make it disappear forever.

***SPOILERS*** Utterly ridiculous but vastly entertaining Spaghetti Western involving this Blindman, Tony Anthony, who together with his seeing eye horse is on the hunt for a stable of 50 well endowed and gorgeous looking women. The women who were stolen from the Blindman by his two timing partner Skunk, Renato Romaro, who then had them shipped down to Mexico to work as prostitutes for Mexican bandit Domingo's, Llyod Battista, string of whorehouses.The Blindman feels his way through the movie and in the process ends up wiping out Domingo's gang almost single handedly without the advantage of having his sight to see what he's doing. The 50 women were in fact to be sent up north of the border to Texas as mail order brides for the hard pressed and sex starved Texan coal miners who haven't seen, much less touched, a women in years. It was that skunk of a partner Skunk who double-crossed the Blindman by selling the women to Domingo before the Blindman could have them shipped to the miners who paid big bucks, in gold and silver, for them.There's also the very interesting side story in the movie involving Domingo's both younger and hot blooded brother Candy played by "The Beatles" drummer Ringo Starr, in his first and last dramatic role, who's got the hots for pretty gringo girl Pilar, Agenta Eckemyr. Candy's insane and uncontrollable lust for her has Pilar who together with her father, Franz Von Treuberg, instead of excepting him as a member of the family just can't stand the very sight much less smell of that, in their words, filthy and overbearing pig! This complicates matters for both the Blindman and Domingo in both being involved in a deadly tug of war over the 50 kidnapped woman who end up unwillingly getting involved with the sex crazed Candy's love life.The Blindman despite his major handicap, in him being totally blind, has no trouble at all dispatching Domingo and his gang of Mexican Bandits who at times seem to be even, in letting the Blindman get away from them time after time, blinder then he is! Using his wits instead of his eyes the Blindman also gets help from Mexican General Ref Badassarre who was once Domingo's captive who, now back from the dead, is out to avenge what he did to him.***SPOILERS*** In true Spaggitti Western Clint Eastwood style the Blindman sets a trap for Domaigo and his men in a deserted Mexican cemetery with an ending somewhat like Eastwood's classic "The Good the Bad & the Ugly". But this time around the Blindman, unlike Clint, gets help from a very unlikely source a former enemy who has now, in evening things out, become his most steadfast and trusted ally!

Not quite as great as the Spaghetti Western classics directed by Sergio Leone or Sergio Corbucci, but "Blindman" definitely ranks among the most entertaining and creatively plotted efforts in the genre. Blindman is pretty much the western equivalent of the legendary Japanese Zatôichi character. The latter is an incredibly precise & lethal blind Samurai swordsman and the former shoots surprisingly straight despite his visual handicap. Blindman has a contract to escort no less than fifty gorgeous women to their future husbands working in Texan mines, but even at the beginning of the film already he has lost them. Blindman's partner double-crossed him and sold the women to the feared Mexican bandit-brothers Domingo and Candy. Blindman and his super-intelligent horse have no choice but to go to Mexico and regain the women single-handedly. Fernando Baldi's "Blindman" isn't as violent or nasty as most of the contemporary Spaghetti Westerns (with the notable exception of a couple of scenes) but mainly attracts attention with its situational humor and the clichéd (yet funny) character drawings. For example, Blindman doesn't immediately notice when his women have been replaced with fifty old and terribly unattractive ladies and the film ends exactly like it begun; with our hero chasing the women that once again have been stolen from him. Tony Anthony plays a terrific Blindman. He's charismatic yet inconspicuous and his laughter is very contagious. Speaking of wild laughter, the Raf Baldassarre joyfully overacts as the Mexican General and the most impressive supportive role is for Beatles drummer Ringo Starr as one of the malicious brothers. Stelvio Cipriani's musical score is terrific and remains stuck in your head long after finishing the film. The music is always one of the main reasons to watch Spaghetti Westerns, as well as the usually striking widescreen cinematography. This semi-classic too contains a lot of masterful shots and enchanting landscapes. Recommended!
