Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

daviddaveinternational A "blind gunfighter"? "military intelligence"? "jumbo shrimp"? I caught this bomb last night. What a pile! I can't believe all the rave reviews it has gotten. I was trying to figure out how "Candy" (Ringo) lost his Liverpudlian accent. Either they limited his lines to 2 or 3 words (which occurred) so he could practice verbalizing sans accent or his voice was dubbed in. Should have done the "Caveman" movie trip: NO dialog! This movie has got to be one of, if not "THE worst movies ever made. I mean, what was Ringo thinking?! Don't get me wrong; I've always thought Ringo was the "smartest Beatle" and my personal favorite but maybe he was just bored and needed something to do at the time what with the recent Beatle's breakup. (Thanks Yoko and John!) If I had the chance to watch it again, I think I'd rather stick my face in the proverbial fan. No thanks!

redwhiteandblue1776 This may be the worst Western ever made. EVER! So bad, it's laughable. I understand why Tony Anthony had to produce and star in the movie he wrote, as I can't imagine a real actor actually taking the part or wanting to get involved with this film. It's not advertised as a comedy, but it really is funny. I watch it just to see what totally unbelievable thing would happen next. I shoot firearms and have ridden horses all my life. I had no idea a blind man could shoot both rifles and revolvers and never miss. And I wish I had a horse that smart. Wow! Talk about being well trained. My wife wasn't home when I watched it which was a good thing. She would have been so ashamed of my bad taste.

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.

Cristi_Ciopron "Blindman" is a bizarre piece of fantasy,and a fine work in its kind. Baldi fumbled in his pocket for a lay-out of slum burlesque and sombre surreal,where he could unfold his ghosts and intuitions.Of course,there is a certain amount of coarseness and rudeness,compensated by the excellent sense of the waggish narrative cartoon and peculiar aquaforte. Baldi knows and does well his job,in spite of the sometimes quite poor quality of the material.The movie manages to be interesting and so agreeable.Any psychology or human truth are entirely absent,as it must be with this kind of movie.The characters are mere puppets,the humor is thickened,cruel and disrespectful,sometimes out of tune,and in a way unworthy of Baldi.Of course,the whole scheme is unbelievable and absurd.With this movie,by this movie,we see what were able to do some talented directors with a western script,in the 60s and 70s.Such movies give the impression of being totally free of commercial compulsions and humdrum drawings,and show a remarkable skill for ranging a stock of epic elements.If the coarseness I've been mentioning does not lack at least sometimes,there are,in exchange,great amounts of humor,charm, resourcefulness,quickness,a powerful and vivid drawing,fancy,even some impudence,craft,merriment,striking beautiful music.Very often,the actors are outstanding and skillful (and so is T. Anthony too,to be sure).All these things place the European westerns together with the great Italian opera and the surrealist prose:the bread of the fanciful.A form of art unconventional and popular, intelligent and light.(there are,in "Blindman",some things insipid, clumsy and boorish,some bad taste,but also some unsurpassedly accomplished.)"Blindman" is a good sample for the genre's fine qualities.Anthony looks now petulant and now mild,now serene and now sanguinary,now sinister and now nice,adamant and cunning.His sniggers fit well.He is as great an western actor as Nero,Kinski,Volonte,Gemma and Eastwood are.His acting is liquid,elastic and sober,real and manly;a great actor.Anthony acts with a visible relish and delight,obviously enjoying.I greet all those who already like "Blindman" and the European westerns;and also all those who will.
