Two Mules for Sister Sara Reviews

Even though I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick, a Western starring Clint Eastwood is always a treat, so I was really eager to check it out. The fact that it was directed by the great Don Siegel made it even more interesting. If I’m not mistaken, it was the 2nd movie he made with Clint Eastwood, the first one being ‘Coogan’s Bluff’ and they would make almost 4 movies back to back ending with their seminal classic ‘Dirty Harry’. However, I wasn't really convinced by the addition of Shirley MacLaine in the mix but she didn't bother me much. On the other hand, it was nice to have a strong female character in a Western for once but, somehow, it didn’t connect with this one. Originally, Elizabeth Taylor was linked to play this part but, for various reasons, it didn’t happen and, apparently, Shirley MacLaine didn’t get along with Don Siegel and even Clint Eastwood didn’t really know what to do with her. Eventually, it is not really a revolutionary flick, Eastwood basically plays the same character he has always been playing so far but it remains an entertaining Western and I think it is worth a look, especially if you are looking for a good old Western starring Clint Eastwood.
