High Plains Drifter (1973)

20 From 73: My Favorite Films of 1973 (20 movies items)

"Yet another flick featuring Clint Eastwood riding into town looking to unload a pair of six-shooters & then some. Now obviously, while not all of Eastwood's westerns were great, IMO, none of 'em were really bad either. The roughly cut visage of his face under a gunslinger's hat was one of those iconic images that, in my mind, will always be a fundamental part of the genre (probably second only to John Wayne). For me, the 70's wouldn't be the 70's without a good ol' cowboy Clint shoot 'em up "

"I read somewhere that John Wayne was so offended by Eastwood's harsh revisionist view of a frontier town that he wrote to Eastwood, objecting. Personally, I think it's probably closer to the mark than the watered-down, ideallic visions from other Hollywood westerns of the past. Here, as in the Leone trilogy, Eastwood play a nameless anti-hero; in this case though, Eastwood is the director (his second film as such). A strange tale of vengeance visited upon a corrupt town and magnificently done!"
