My first CE movie was “High plains drifter”, He plays a pretty dark character in that film.
Clint Eastwood
- Thread starter Indiana
- Start date
I liked the Eli Wallach line in the Good the Bad and The Ugly where after dragging him across the desert to slowly kill him, he realizes Clint has the code to where the gold is buried and has to take him to a monastery to get him nursed back to health. At his bedside he says to Clint..."lucky I was there when it happened" lol.
I thought the same thing. Very happy that's not the case.
Tom Hanks tells a hilarious story on the Graham Norton show of what it was like to work with Clint Eastwood. (And the woman sitting beside Hanks is stunning. Love her low cut dress.)

Kinda depends how you define the character.
There are people who argue that even in the three spaghetti westerns it isn't the same "man with no name".
Kelly's Heroes.
The soundtrack on the opening seen is great music.
Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Donald Sutherland, Gavin MacLeod, Carrol O'Connor.

No hate spewing in the general forum, take your bile to the political. I've always considered Dirty Harry to be Clint's weakest character, not much room for Clint to show his considerable acting skills.
Tightrope bombed at the box-office. Audiences didn't like watching Clint as a schizophrenic anymore than watching John Wayne play a coward in The Searchers. While the John Ford film has been redeemed over time, that hasn't happened for Richard Tuggle's masterpiece. Tuggle has only three credits to his name, having also written Escape From Alcatraz - he gave up making films to become a surfer.
Giving credit to him where credit is due, which is a lot; some of his movies are fucking downers. However, I learned a lot from his pretty consistent pick up technique which he applies to most of his movies...
