Notes: Ringo made his second co-starring role in this Italian/Spanish "Spaghetti Western".
It was filmed in Italy and Spain in 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 1973.
It became a cult movie and was even shown at drive-ins in Australia in the mid 70`s.
It was finally was broadcast on television in the 1990`s before getting a superb remastered release on DVD in 2005.
