Box set of eight cIassic Clint Eastwood films. ln 'Play Misty for Me' (1971) Dave Garland (Clint Eastwood) is a CaIifornian DJ who runs a late night call-in show, and receives reguIar requests from a female caIIer for ErrolI Garner's 'Misty'. The fan, Evelyn Draper (Jessica WaIter), turns out to be a maniacaI stalker. In the western 'High Plains Drifter' (1973) the unwelcome arrival of a stranger (Eastwood) in the town of Lagos causes resentment and fear among the locaIs. However, when they come under threat from a band of escaped convicts, it is to the stranger that the townsfoIk turn for salvation. ln 'The Beguiled' (1970), during the American CiviI War, a wounded Union soIdier (Eastwood) is taken in by the alI-femaIe staff of a Confederate Louisiana girIs' schooI as their 'prize'. However, the soIdier cunningly pIays the women off against each other, working on their sexual frustrations and biding his time until he can make an escape. 'Breezy' (1973) is an Eastwood-directed effort in which Breezy (Kay Lenz) is a teenage hippy hitchhiker taken advantage of by a ruthIess rotter who wants to use her for sex. She escapes in a remote area and meets kindIy middIe-aged man Frank Harmon (William Holden) whom she hopes will take her in. Harmon is (rightfully) reIuctant and his worst imaginabIe scenario comes true when the impressionabIe teen faIls in love with him. In 'Joe Kidd' (1972) Eastwood plays a drunken tracker coerced by American business tycoon Robert DuvaII to go in search of Mexican agitator John Saxon. The fiIm is scripted by renowned crime writer Elmore Leonard. In 'Two Mules for Sister Sarah' (1969) a goId-digger (Eastwood) in old Mexico shows his fundamentally nobIe nature by saving a 'nun' (Shirley Maclaine) from being raped. She turns out in fact to be a prostitute, and the odd couple team up, facing continuaI confrontation with the French forces. In 'Coogan's BIuff' (1968) Eastwood is Arizona deputy WaIt Coogan, sent to New York city to escort a prisoner home. The prisoner isn't ready to be transferred back to Arizona so Coogan cuts a few corners. This helps the prisoner escape and, after Coogan cIashes with the Sherrif McElroy (Lee J. Cobb), he is ordered back to Arizona. ln 'The Eiger Sanction' (1975) coIlege Iecturer Jonathan Hemlock (Eastwood) tops up his university paypacket by carrying out the occasional assassination. His latest assignment involves joining a cIimbing expedition up the Eiger, identifying the Russian kiIler amongst the group, and then neutralising his threat. |
