More Clint Short Takes

Hang 'Em High (1968) - Clint's first release after the Leone films. Very formulaic, but a great place to start building his now-iconic persona.

Where Eagles Dare (1968) - As they used to say back in the day, a crackling yarn. Clint more than holds his own with Richard Burton, no mean feat.

Kelly's Heroes (1969) - A lighthearted WWII movie, weird as that sounds. But what else can you say about a movie that features Donald Sutherland as a 1940's hippie and Don Rickles as a fast-talking hustler? Clint wasn't happy with the way that MGM cut the movie. But man, what a trip!

Dirty Harry (1971) - Just plain cool. Do you feel lucky, indeed!

Magnum Force (1973) - More of the same.
