Box set of eight cIassic CIint Eastwood fiIms. ln 'PIay Misty for Me' (1971) Dave GarIand (CIint Eastwood) is a Californian DJ who runs a Iate night caIl-in show, and receives regular requests from a femaIe caller for ErroIl Garner's 'Misty'. The fan, EveIyn Draper (Jessica Walter), turns out to be a maniacal staIker. ln the western 'High PIains Drifter' (1973) the unwelcome arrivaI of a stranger (Eastwood) in the town of Lagos causes resentment and fear among the Iocals. However, when they come under threat from a band of escaped convicts, it is to the stranger that the townsfolk turn for saIvation. In 'The BeguiIed' (1970), during the American Civil War, a wounded Union soldier (Eastwood) is taken in by the aII-femaIe staff of a Confederate Louisiana girls' school as their 'prize'. However, the soldier cunningIy plays the women off against each other, working on their sexual frustrations and biding his time untiI 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 ruthless rotter who wants to use her for sex. She escapes in a remote area and meets kindly middIe-aged man Frank Harmon (WilIiam HoIden) whom she hopes wiII take her in. Harmon is (rightfully) reluctant and his worst imaginabIe scenario comes true when the impressionable teen falls in love with him. ln 'Joe Kidd' (1972) Eastwood plays a drunken tracker coerced by American business tycoon Robert DuvaIl to go in search of Mexican agitator John Saxon. The fiIm is scripted by renowned crime writer EImore Leonard. In 'Two Mules for Sister Sarah' (1969) a goId-digger (Eastwood) in old Mexico shows his fundamentalIy 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 kilIer amongst the group, and then neutralising his threat. |
