Clint Eastwood in the 1970s
(詳細はClint Eastwood's acting career was at its peak.
==''Two Mules for Sister Sara'' (1970)==
In 1970, Eastwood starred in the western, ''Two Mules for Sister Sara'' with Shirley MacLaine. The film, directed by Siegel, is a story about an American mercenary who gets mixed up with a prostitute disguised as a nun and aid a group of Juarista rebels during the puppet reign of Emperor Maximilian in Mexico.〔Frayling (1992), p. 7〕〔Smith (1993), p.76〕 The story was initially written by Budd Boetticher, who was later sacked and replaced with Albert Maltz to revise the script.〔Schickel (1996), p.225〕 The film saw Eastwood embody the tall mysterious stranger once more, unshaven, wearing a serape-like vest and smoking a cigar and the film score was composed by Morricone.〔Schickel (1996), p.226〕 Although the film had Leonesque dirty Hispanic villains, the film was considerably less crude and more sardonic than those of Leone.〔McGilligan (1999), p.179〕 The role of Sister Sara was initially offered to Elizabeth Taylor during the filming of ''Where Eagles Dare'' (Taylor then being the wife of Richard Burton) but Taylor had to turn down the role because she wanted to shoot in Spain where Burton was filming his latest movie.〔 Although Sister Sara was supposed to be Mexican, they eventually cast Shirley MacLaine although they were initially unconvinced with her pale complexion.〔McGilligan (1999), p. 181〕 Both Siegel and Eastwood felt intimidated by her on set, and Siegel described Clint's co-star as, "It's hard to feel any great warmth to her. She's too unfeminine and has too much balls. She's very, very hard."〔McGilligan (1999), p. 182〕 ''Two Mules for Sister Sara'' marked the last time that Eastwood would receive second billing for a film and it would be 25 years until he risked being overshadowed by a leading lady again in ''The Bridges of Madison County'' (1995).
The film, which took four months to shoot and cost around $4 million to make,〔McGilligan (1999), p.183〕 received moderate reviews, and Roger Greenspun of the ''New York Times'' reported, "I'm not sure it is a great movie, but it is very good and it stays and grows on the mind the way only movies of exceptional narrative intelligence do".〔 Stanley Kauffman described the film as "an attempt to keep old Hollywood alive- a place where nuns ''can'' turn out to be disguised whores, where heroes ''can'' always have a stick of dynamite under their vests, where every story has not one but two cute finishes. Its kind of ''The African Queen'' gone west".〔Schickel (1996), p. 227〕 ''The New York Times'' in its book, ''The New York Times Guide to the Best 1000 Movies Ever Made'' included ''Two Mules for Sister Sara'' in its top 1000 films of all time.〔Canby, Maslin & Nichols (1999)〕
