Clint Eastwood has been Hollywood's most consistently successful male star since the golden days of the studio era. He has established himself as a respected director whose work includes at least two of the great western films of the last quarter century, one an Oscar winner, as well as a number of deeply personal works which hardly fit the mode of the action hero. This book analyses all of Eastwood's films as director and includes information about his acting career, as well as tracing the influences of Leone, Siegel and others on his work.
