Box set of eight classic Clint Eastwood films. In 'Play Misty for
Me' (1971) Dave Garland (Clint Eastwood) is a Californian DJ who
runs a late night call-in show, and receives regular requests from
a female caller for Erroll Garner's 'Misty'. The fan, Evelyn Draper
(Jessica Walter), turns out to be a maniacal 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 locals. However, when they come under threat from a band
of escaped convicts, it is to the stranger that the townsfolk turn
for salvation. In 'The Beguiled' (1970), during the American Civil
War, a wounded Union soldier (Eastwood) is taken in by the
all-female staff of a Confederate Louisiana girls' school as their
'prize'. However, the soldier cunningly plays 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 ruthless rotter who wants
to use her for sex. She escapes in a remote area and meets kindly
middle-aged man Frank Harmon (William Holden) whom she hopes will
take her in. Harmon is (rightfully) reluctant and his worst
imaginable scenario comes true when the impressionable teen falls
in love with him. In 'Joe Kidd' (1972) Eastwood plays a drunken
tracker coerced by American business tycoon Robert Duvall to go in
search of Mexican agitator John Saxon. The film is scripted by
renowned crime writer Elmore Leonard. In 'Two Mules for Sister
Sarah' (1969) a gold-digger (Eastwood) in old Mexico shows his
fundamentally noble 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 continual confrontation with the French
forces. In 'Coogan's Bluff' (1968) Eastwood is Arizona deputy Walt
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 clashes with the Sherrif McElroy (Lee J. Cobb), he is
ordered back to Arizona. In 'The Eiger Sanction' (1975) college
lecturer Jonathan Hemlock (Eastwood) tops up his university
paypacket by carrying out the occasional assassination. His latest
assignment involves joining a climbing expedition up the Eiger,
identifying the Russian killer amongst the group, and then
neutralising his threat.
