High Plains Drifter (1973, USA) C-105m. SCOPE *** D: Clint Eastwood. Starring Clint Eastwood, Verna Bloom, Marianna Hill, Mitch Ryan, Jack Ging, Billy Curtis, Geoffrey Lewis. Eastwood's second directorial effort mostly retreads the "Man With No Name" formula, as he rides into town of Lago, where he is soon asked to help defending the town against soon-to-be-released gunslingers who have sworn revenge. Will he help? Laid-back performance by Eastwood in a western that is interesting throughout. Script by Ernest Tidyman.
