Description
Collection of eight classic dramas and Westerns directed by or starring Clint Eastwood.
In 'Coogan's Bluff' (1968) deputy sheriff Walt Coogan (Eastwood) is sent from Arizona to New York City to escort escaped prisoner James Ringerman (Don Stroud) home. When Coogan cuts corners to expedite the process, Ringerman is able to escape and Coogan's attempts to recapture him lead him to clash with NYPD Detective McElroy (Lee J.
Cobb). In 'Two Mules for Sister Sara' (1969) Hogan (Eastwood) saves Sara (Shirley MacLaine) from marauding bandits and when she asks for his continued help and protection, he reluctantly agrees. As they travel together, he discovers that she is far from the nun he believed her to be and together they team up to aid a group of Mexican revolutionaries in their fight against French occupying forces.
'The Beguiled' (1970) is set during the American Civil War. When wounded Union soldier John McBurney (Eastwood) is taken in by the all-female staff of a Louisiana girls' school, they are going to turn him over to the Confederate army but decide to heal him first. However, McBurney cunningly plays the women off against each other, working on their sexual frustrations and biding his time until he is well enough to attempt an escape.
In 'Play Misty for Me' (1971) Dave Garland (Eastwood) is a Californian DJ who runs a late night call-in show and receives regular requests from a female caller for Erroll Garner's song 'Misty'. Unfortunately for Garland, the fan, Evelyn Draper (Jessica Walter), turns out to be a maniacal stalker.
In the revisionist Western 'Joe Kidd' (1972) Eastwood stars as the eponymous former bounty hunter who is hired by wealthy landowner Frank Harlan (Robert Duvall) to track Mexican revolutionary Luis Chama (John Saxon). However, Harlan soon proves that he is not to be trusted.
In 'High Plains Drifter' (1973) the arrival of a stranger (Eastwood) in the mining town of Lago causes resentment and fear among the locals. However, when they are threatened by a band of outlaws, they beg him to protect them, but he has plans of his own.
'Breezy' (1973) follows the complicated relationship between the young and free-spirited Breezy (Kay Lenz) and middle-aged divorcé Frank Harmon (William Holden). Breezy brings joy back into Frank's life but he is reluctant to become involved with her given their age difference.
Finally, in 'The Eiger Sanction' (1975), college professor Jonathan Hemlock (Eastwood) is forced to return to his previous life as a government assassin for one last mission.
