52 Years Later, Clint Eastwood’s Most Haunting Western Still Has Fans Debating Its Ending
After gaining fame for his Spaghetti Westerns filmed in Italy, Clint Eastwood successfully transitioned to Hollywood stardom. He collaborated with prominent directors like Don Siegel, Brian G. Hutton, and Michael Cimino, and became known for memorable roles such as ‘Dirty’ Harry Callahan, Josey Wales, and David Garver. While acting, Eastwood also developed his skills as a director, and many of his self-directed films became highly successful throughout the 1970s, 80s, and 90s – a trend that continues today. Though he’s made many great films, his work from the 1970s is often considered his best. He became a highly respected Western director, starting with his 1973 film, High Plains Drifter, which continues to spark debate among fans about the events that unfolded in the town of Lago and the mysterious stranger who arrived there.
