BLIND MAN 1971 (ABKCO)

One of the most original Spaghetti westerns I have seen.

Tony Anthony stars as a blindman whose name we never know. It seems he had a contract along with a partner to deliver 50 mail oreder brides to a small mine in Texas.

However his friend betrayed him and sold the women to Candy (Ringo Starr) and his brother Domingo (Lloyd Battista). Now the Blindman has to try and get them back and he pretty much wages a one man war against the brothers.

There are some great set pieces in this film and I have never seen the hero of a movie portrayed as a blindman in this way. There are tons of gunfights and fistfights in this movie as Blindman tries to rescue the women.

Starr turns in a very good performance as a baddie and Raf Baldassarre is excellent as a General that Candy and Domingo also kidnap, but he ends up helping Blindman destroy the two.

The film moves along very quickly and everyone in the film seems to be having a great time with their roles. The 50 women are an interesting mix to the story and there are some great Euro babes. The standout is Magda Konopka as Sweet Mama and she does look or so fine.

The other gorgeous babes in the cast include Shirley Corrigan, Malissa Longo, Marisa Solinas, Agneta Eckemyr, Mary Badin, Carla Brait and Alice Mannel. I could swear I also saw Janine Reynaud, but then again I might be wrong.

If yoou're wondering where to start if you've never seen a spaghetti western, I would say here is a great start. I have to admit that our hero really likes to use dynamite. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
