''The Beguiled'' is a 1971 American drama film directed by Don Siegel, starring Clint Eastwood and Geraldine Page. The script was written by Albert Maltz and is based on the 1966 Southern Gothic novel written by Thomas P. Cullinan, originally titled ''A Painted Devil''. The film marks the third of five collaborations between Siegel and Eastwood, following ''Coogan's Bluff'' (1968) and ''Two Mules for Sister Sara'' (1970), and continuing with ''Dirty Harry'' (1971) and ''Escape from Alcatraz'' (1979). ==Plot== Close to the end of the American Civil War, injured Yankee soldier John McBurney is rescued from the verge of death by a twelve-year-old girl from an all-girl boarding school in Louisiana. At first the all-female staff and pupils are scared, but as John starts to recover, he charms them one by one and the sexually repressed atmosphere becomes filled with jealousy and deceit, with the two teachers and some of the girls clearly attracted to him. After rejecting the headmistress for a younger girl, McBurney gets his comeuppance in the form of some painful Freudian symbolism — he falls down the stairs. Eventually his leg is amputated by the headmistress, ostensibly to avoid gangrene - the film leaves it unclear whether this is her genuine concern or if she is prompted consciously or subconsciously by revenge. After going on a rampage that scares all of the women, he reforms and announces his intention to marry one of the teachers, but it is too late; he has alienated the youngest girl, who first found him, by killing her pet turtle after throwing it aside in a drunken rage. In response, she is coached to pick mushrooms that the headmistress and girls use to poison him.
