Blindman (1971) is a Spaghetti Western directed by Ferdinando Baldi, co-written and co-produced by Tony Anthony. The film is an homage to the Japanese Zatoichi series, featuring a blind gunman hired to escort 50 mail-order brides to miners in Texas. Betrayed by his partner Skunk, who sells the women to Mexican bandits Domingo and Candy, the Blindman embarks on a perilous journey to rescue them. Despite his blindness, he relies on his heightened senses and sharpshooting skills to confront the outlaws and fulfill his mission.
