Shirley MacLaine, Clint Eastwood, Manolo Fabregas. Profane Sister Sara recruits a drifter to help Mexican rebels attack a French fort.
This is Clint in the prime of his B Western career, and ultimately one of his very best films, western or not. This work features some stunning vistas, whether real or back-lot drop sets, the vistas are beautiful. Shirley MacLaine kicks in a convincing performance as the Profane Sister Sara, who conducts business like a wrangler.
Fraught with intrigue, some great performances, and an interesting story line, this well executed western makes for a fine rainy Saturday afternoon. Otherwise, unless you are an aficionado of the classic American western, this may be somewhat of a disappointment, if you had to clear your busy schedule to allow appropriate viewing time.
This is my favorite Clint Eastwood film, western or no, and it rates a 7.6/10 from...
