Blindman

About This Movie

So, 'Blindman' is this unique Western from '71 that really stands out for its premise. A blind gunman, played by the solid actor Tony Anthony, takes on this wild ride to rescue a batch of mail-order brides double-crossed by his partners. The pacing might feel a bit uneven, but there’s a gritty charm to it, especially with its practical effects and action sequences. There's this odd blend of humor and violence that creates a strange atmosphere, and the score adds to that weirdly appealing vibe. It's not your typical Western; it’s darker and has a certain flair that makes it worth discussing among collectors.

'Blindman' has had a somewhat limited release history, making it a bit tricky to find on physical formats. It often shows up in collectors' circles due to its unusual premise and the cult following it has garnered over the years. The scarcity of well-preserved copies, especially in original release prints, has sparked a fair amount of interest among genre enthusiasts, who appreciate its odd take on the Western formula.
