As ever, here's this season's \"Ringo Starr appears in seventies film which is problematic by modern sensibilities\" episode. Blindman, a spaghetti western produced by Allen Klein, features Ringo as an unhinged Mexican bandit. We discuss, inevitably, its sexual and racial politics, talk about whether Ringo is playing against type (and, more broadly, whether he has established a \"type\" against which to play), and assess his performance and position within the early 1970s film industry.
