The Beguiled
In this Civil War era drama directed by Don Siegel, Eastwood plays wounded Yankee soldier, John McBurney, who is taken in, hidden, and treated by the women at a school for girls in the southern countryside. When the time comes for him to leave things turn dark. Also starring Geraldine Page. On making movies that go against his image:
I’ve died in two pictures now, and neither one was successful. ‘Honkytonk Man’ and ‘Beguiled.’
