Without Western, Clint Eastwood would never become a legend on the screen today. The actor not only imported as a man without a name in Sergio Leone's seminal trilogy, he directed one of the most famous pheasants of the Western Western Western with "Unforgiven" in 1992 (who (who Fans believe it's Eastwood's best movie). During his career, he relied on the once popular genre to strengthen his profile again and again. But Eastwood never went to please everyone, and it seems that with the 1970s, "Two Sister Sister", he has upset the writer himself who will come out with the story in the first place.

Directed by Don Siegel and written by Albert Maltz, "Two Sister Sister" saw Eastwood playing Hogan, a civil war soldier who, after saving the title of Mexican McLaine, joined the Mexican -based Bandi. The film was based on the original script by Bud Buticher, who is director of the multiple Western, who wrote the Sarah script in the mid-1960s and initially intended to direct it. But after dedicating himself to another project, he sold the script. When Siegel's film's version finally arrived, Boutiher referred to that in 2001 Interview As "abortion". Obviously, the director felt that his initial vision of a Love Bowl story was extremely compromised, with Boutiher expressing disappointment in the way Siegel directed McLean to make it obvious that she was not, in fact a nun - a discovery that came later in the film.

The man who wrote the original story of "Two Mules for Sister Sarah" also had much more to say about the final film, and did not allow Siegel to turn off the hook after attending the premiere.

After working together on Bluff of Coogan's Bluff in 1968, Clint Eastwood and Don Siegel again tried "two mules for Sarah" in 1970, which will eventually become the second of the five collaborations among the couple. Just a year after the film was released, the actor/director Duo united for "The Beguiled" and the legendary Controversial "dirty Harry" Before cementing their undeniable status as two of the major associates of the 1979 "Escape from Alcatraz". Their 1970 West may not have been as famous as that prison drama, but received a decent critical response and made a modest profit, bringing around $ 5 million on a $ 2.5 million budget.

A man who certainly did not give the film a positive overview, however, was Bud Buticher, who made his feelings known to Siegel after the premiere. In an interview in 1999 (through Senses for the cinema. Boutiher recalls he attended the premiere at the Pantage Theater in Los Angeles. "I was sitting with Ron Eli, the actor. And Clint, who is now a very dear friend ... When we saw that picture, I said," The most stupid fever in the theater was the leading man. Could it not smell like a breath? "Obviously, Boticher felt the characterization of Sarah to give the discovery that she was not unclean and was actually a woman of painful reputation. According to the director, at one point Eli pointed out that he and Boutiher "Become and hit those two guys behind us," to which Boutiher replied: "You hit Clint and I would hit Don."

Bud Buticher was certainly not the first writer of the film Clint Eastwood/Don Siegel who hated the way his original screen script translated. Johnon Millius, The writer behind the sequel "Dirty Harry" in 1973, "Magnum Force", found the final product of frivolousclaiming that the director and Eastwood completely overcome the characterization of Harry Calahan and changed the original end out of the recognition.

But while Millius seemed to have booked most of his interview options, Bouticher told Siegel exactly what he thought "two sister Sarah mule". As he said, Siegel called him the day after the premiere and was greeted with even more criticism. "Don, how could you make a piece of nonsense like that?" Buticher recalls he said. He continued:

"He said:" It is great to wake up in the morning and know that there is a check by mail. " And there was a dead silence. He finally said, "I'm talking to the wrong man, right?" I said: "They are sure to be hell. It is better to wake up in the morning and not be ashamed of what you see in the mirror." And Don was getting older. Now I'm ten or twenty years older than then, and I would never have done it. "

Despite Boutiher's disruption for the film, "Two Sister Sister" remains one of Eastwood's most satisfied moviesAnd most of it comes down to the chemistry between the leading man and Shirley McLean. He may not meet the expectations of the original writer, but the version of Siegel's film has certainly worked for most critics, even if one of Eastwood's most famous Western Western Western Westerners is not necessarily.
