Blindman is a spaghetti-western variation on the Zatoichi series. It was directed by Ferdinando Baldi and produced by Allen Klein, featuring Tony Anthony, and Ringo Starr as a Mexican bandito.
Anthony played a blind gunslinger hired to escort fifty mail-order brides to their husbands. By that time, Allen Klein had become the manager of the Beatles, and Saul Swimmer had directed many of their music videos and concert films. Both were producers on Blindman, and their presence led to Ringo Starr accepting a supporting role as one of the bandits.
