Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Really Surprised!
One of my all time favorites.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
This one is one of my favorite young Clint Eastwood movies. Movies are supposed to be entertaining, right? And what's more entertaining than watching a hunky guy and a pretty girl? Clint Eastwood is rugged and rough (duh) as his usual cowboy self, and in Two Mules for Sister Sara, he rescues the cutest little nun in the desert, Shirley MacLaine! The nun and the cowboy team up and develop a friendship. . .and perhaps more. The movie is super cute, romantic, and quite funny. If I liked it—and I'm usually bored to tears by westerns—you will, too! Lots of eye candy, lots of jokes, and absolutely fantastic ending! The chemistry between the two is absolutely sizzling; I never read that Shirley and Clint had an affair during the filming, but they certainly were cute together. Just look at some backstage pictures—if that isn't love in her eyes, I don't know what is!
I am not a fan of Western films - generally speaking - but Two Mules for Sister Sara is a outstanding story. This movie really did get my attention from the beginning and held it until the very end. It is not a typical shot-them-up Western flick - yet it does have some gun-slinging action in it.This is one of those films I do not want to talk about too much because I don't want to give it away - instead I will tell you to simply watch it because it is good! I can say it is a very interesting concept: The gunslinger helping a nun and vice versa - just watch the film and see how they meet and it plays out you will not be disappointed.9/10
Two Mules for Sister Sara is directed by Don Siegel and adapted to screenplay by Albert Maltz from a story by Budd Boetticher. It stars Clint Eastwood, Shirley MacLaine, Manolo Fabregas and Alberto Morin. A Panavision/Technicolor production, the music is scored by Ennio Morricone and cinematography by Gabriel Figueroa.Set during the reign of Emperor Maximilian in Mexico, plot finds Eastwood as a reconnaissance drifter for hire who saves a nun (MacLaine) from being gang-raped by three cowboys. Forming an unusual alliance as journey companions, it turns out that Sister Sara has many secrets to reveal... It hardly set the American box office alight and critical reviews were lukewarm to say the least, and with Boetticher himself proving quite vociferous in his displeasure at how his source story was handled, Two Mules for Sister Sara is often thought of as a stinker. Is it? Well it's undeniably too long and Siegel is hardly stretching his directing prowess, but it's a fun adventure movie that is beautifully photographed and for the most part it finds Eastwood and MacLaine as a watchable double act. The central jokes of having Eastwood "fancy" a nun and said nun put into a number of compromising situations - wears thin because of the over long running time - but the film gets wrapped up nicely with some high octane action and a smile inducing ending.Middle tier Eastwood and Siegel stuff for sure, and the prudes should stay away, but this is certainly better than its reputation suggests; flaws and all. 7/10
This movie was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting perhaps a spaghetti western comedy, but what I got was an exciting plot that moved right along, with good performances from the two leads, some nice scenery, good dialogue and a great buildup to a nice climax. Shirley Mcclaine was perfectly cast, and boy did she look absolutely splendid. The scene where Clint questions her morals as a nun who shuns the physical feelings is deft and wonderfully written and acted, it was my favorite scene. The action goes from entertaining to more entertaining. Clint is simply wonderful, this was one of his best movies I thought. The chemistry between them is great. I like how the romance develops replete with some twists that you may or may not see coming. Don Siegel is such a talented director, he always seems to make movies that not only movie right along but manages to get good performances from everyone involved. We need more directors like Siegel in this day and age. The music was trademark Ennio Morricone cowboy music, he is always spot on. This is the kind of movie that they just don't make anymore, perfect entertainment for a weekend on the couch. Catch it if you can.
