Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

ma-cortes A mysterious blind gunfighter roams through Mexico with a mission he has sworn to carry out , as he was hired to escort fifty mail order brides to their miner husbands . But his business pals treason him, selling the women to a nasty villain . As some enemies have stolen 50 women that belong to him , thus Blindman heads into Mexico and sets out in pursuit . Blindman is imprisoned by the bandit called Domingo (Lloyd Batista) who has the brides in a fortress where comes a military party commanded by a Mexican general (Raf Baldassarre) . In the middle of these two parties is a beautiful woman , Candy's(Ringo Starr) sweetheart, who helps Blindman . The gunfighter enters the stronghold attempting to take the girls shipment , being trapped between two feuding factions , a Mexican officer and a gang of Mexican bandits led by Domingo and Sweet Mama (Magda Konopka) , and he then is caught up in a struggle against them . But here is a problem however, the gunman is blind .The film packs violence , shootouts , high body-count , and it's fast moving and quite entertaining . There is plenty of action in the movie , guaranteeing some shoot'em up or stunts every few minutes . Tony Anthony is very fine, giving even some comic touches , he ravages the screen, he shoots , hits and run and ultimately takes the law on his own hands It's an exciting western with breathtaking showdown between the starring Tony Anthony and his enemies Lloyd Batista , Ringo Starr , Magda Konopka , among others . The movie contains gun-play, action Western , thrills , bloody spectacle and some nudism in charge of beautiful girls , including the ordinary female shower among them . Made on a fairly middling scale with acceptable set design , adequate photography filmed in Elios studios and evocative musical score by Stelvio Cipriani . Screenplay with interesting premise about a 'blind gunfighter' though its origin results to be a Japanese series starred by ¨Zaitochi¨, a blind swordsman from the 60s and being recently remade by Takeshi Kitano . This interesting theme about a blind gunslinger in the West has been treated in other films such as ¨An eye for eye¨ by Michael Moore with Robert Lansing and ¨Minessota Clay¨ with Cameron Mitchell , directed by Sergio Corbucci and finally ¨Blind Justice¨(1994) by Richard Spence with Armand Assante , Robert Davi and Elizabeth Shue . An interesting casting full of usual Italian/Spanish Western players such as : Tito Garcia , Fortunato Arena , Guido Mannari , Renato Romano and very brief appearance of Eurotrash goddesses as Malisa Longo , Krista Nell , Janine Reynaud , Shirley Corrigan , among others . Special mention to Raf Baldassarre in his ordinary role as a cruelly baddie , he is terrific , and bears a hysterical and mocking aspect , subsequently he would play similar characters . The movie gets the ordinary Western issues, such as avengers antiheroes , violent facing off , quick scenes and exaggerated baddies . This is a good Spaghetti Western with some moments genuinely entertaining if you can avoid thinking too much . It's an improbable blending of standard Western with pursuits, high body-count and it's fast moving and quite entertaining . Acceptable cinematography by Ricardo Pallottini , but is necessary a perfect remastering , being the copy a little washed-out . Of course , the film was appropriately filmed in Almeria , Spain . As it was shot in Texas Hollywood-Fort Bravo , Almeria, and ¨ a fortress called Condor¨, where was filmed several Spaghetti as ¨ Blind man, Massacre at Fort Holman¨, ¨A man called Noon¨ , ¨El Condor¨ and ¨Conan the Barbarian¨ .The motion picture was compellingly realized by Ferdinando Baldi . Direction by Ferdinando Baldi is well crafted, here he is more cynical and violent and inclined toward humor and packs too much action . Baldi makes a nice camera work with clever choreography on the showdown , fighting , moving shootouts and bemusing scenes . Baldi was a craftsman who directed all kind genres but especially Western such as "Carambola's Philosophy: In the Right Pocket" , "Django, Prepare a Coffin" , ¨Adios Texas¨ , ¨Rita in the West¨ and of course ¨Il Pistolero dell'Ave Maria" or USA original title "Forgotten Pistolero" at his best . ¨Blindman¨ is an outlandish , surprising and uneven story but will appeal to Spaghetti Western aficionados . Rating : 7 , riotous Western in which there's too much action and violence and excitement enough .

JohnWelles "Blindman" (1971) is a Spaghetti Western directed by Ferdinando Baldi.The plot is simple, almost a mere showcase for the highlights that are contain in this film: a blind, if deadly, gunfighter played by the great Tony Anthony, is hired to escort 50 mail order brides to their miner husbands. But he's double-crossed by his associates who sell them to the dangerous Mexican bandit (Lloyd Battista) Domingo. Blindman tracks down the bandit to get his brides...This is more bizarre Spaghetti than usual as it has Ringo Starr of The Beatles fame playing a Mex outlaw and, surprisingly, equips himself well and is much better than one has any right to expect. Tony Anthony is the best actor in the movie, playing Blindman excellently and makes us believe he can kill five Mexican crooks, who all of weapons, with his rifle. There are some rather mean jokes played at his expense (i. e. knocking over pots, breaking mirrors), but these thankfully stop after the beginning. The rest of the cast are good, if not exactly memorable and the music by Stelvio Cipriani is pleasant enough. The cinematography by Riccardo Pallottini just does the job of telling the story, but then, that is the first priority for photography. Baldi's direction is very good, even if the cruelty to women is overdone. There is also more nudity in this Spaghetti Western than in any other I have seen.So, the action and shootouts are well done, there is at least one great performance and the direction couldn't be more spirited. What more could you ask from from a Spaghetti Western?

Woodyanders How's this for a nifty and novel premise: A shrew, tough, and lethal blind gunslinger (a fine and credible performance by Tony Anthony, who also co-wrote the script) is hired to escort fifty mail order brides to a bunch of miners in Texas. When said brides are abducted by a loathsome group of nasty Mexican bandits lead by the vicious Domingo (well played to the sneering hateful hilt by Lloyd Battista), it's up to the blind man to rescue the gals from their vile clutches. Ably directed with real flair by Fernando Baldi, with a constant snappy pace, a gritty, lurid tone, expansive widescreen cinematography by Riccardo Pallottini, desolate desert locations, a pleasing smattering of tasty female nudity, a twangy, rousing, and spirited Morriconeesque score by Stelvio Cipriani, several amazing scenes with our sightless protagonist blowing away the bad guys with stunning ease and agility, a wickedly funny sense of sarcastic humor, and a lively and exciting climax set in a dusty windswept cemetery, this film sizes up as a whole lot of scuzzy fun. The cool central gimmick is well realized by such inspired touches as a braille map and the blind man's extremely loyal seeing eye horse (!). Best of all, none other than ex-Beatle Ringo Starr has a sizable supporting role as Domingo's slimy brother Candy. There are also neat supporting turns by Agneta Eckemyr as the sweet Pilar, Magda Knopka as Domingo's venomous sister Sweet Mama, Raf Baldassarre as a lecherous Mexican general, and Janine Reynaud as a ravishing prostitute. Well worth seeing.

masercot I have seen more movies about blind people with weapons than anyone else on the face of the Earth. I have seen Zatoichi, Crimson Bat, Rutger Haur and a Japanese video that was a mixture of the odd and the jaw-droppingly stupid. I've been waiting for this to come out on DVD for a while.This was a fantastic movie. A blind gunfighter fights and wipes out an entire gang of bandits who have kidnapped some mail order brides that he was supposed to escort. The blind man has the mannerisms and humbleness of Zatoichi, but the man-hunter business-sense of Crimson Bat. He isn't pretty, but he is stone cold...and he has an affection for dynamite.The scenes are shot well in this movie. The opening scene, Blindman in a ghost town with his seeing-eye horse, let's you know that the director took this movie seriously. Frankly, I think it could've been a recurring character. The mix of humor and action was refreshing in an Italian western.
