"Allen Klein produced a trilogy of Spaghetti Westerns starring and written by Tony Anthony and ostensibly copying Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name. A Stranger In Town (1967) and The Stranger Returns (1967) were released in the USA by MGM. A dispute with MGM over the last of the three, The Silent Stranger (1975), led to it not being released for seven years after production. Klein and Anthony also collaborated on the film Blindman (1971) featuring Ringo Starr as a Mexican bandito. Klein also appeared briefly on camera, in a similar role."--Sholem Stein

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.
