June 1971 and released in November 1971.The film starred actor Tony Anthony who has previous starred in a string of other "Spaghetti Westerns".

It seems Ringo landed this role due to Apple Films involvement in Tony Anthony`s previous movie "Come Together" which had its
soundtrack album released on the Apple label.Tony Anthony was also friends with Allen Klein who co-produced "Blindman" and had a brief role in the film as well as does Mal Evans.

The film premiered in Italy in November before getting a limited release in America in January 1972 and in the UK in late
