    Blindman (also known in Italian as Il Pistolero Cieco, lit. "The Blind Gunfighter") is a 1971 Spaghetti Western film directed by Ferdinando Baldi and co-written and co-produced by Tony Anthony. The film's protagonist, played by Anthony, is an homage to Kan Shimozawa's Zatoichi character: a blind transient who does odd jobs and is actually a high-skilled warrior.

    The film has achieved cult status over the years, mainly due to the involvement of Ringo Starr, a former member of the Beatles, in one of the roles.[2]

    Plot[edit]

    A blind but deadly gunman is hired to escort 50 mail order brides to their miner husbands. When he is double-crossed by his friends and a Mexican bandit, he heads for Mexico to settle scores and save the women.
