The Outlaw Josey Wales
Directed by Clint Eastwood
1976
★ 6.5 editorial score
Eastwood fired the director and took over, and the union wrote a rule to stop it happening again: a Missouri farmer rides out after the war and keeps collecting strays he never wanted.
“The film is indebted to the rustic atmosphere that Eastwood carefully orchestrates—the sense of space and the menagerie of evocative, familiar sounds, not interrupted but accompanied by Jerry Fielding's score. The script has its share of potent wit and is conceived with fascinating nuance, but "The Outlaw Josey Wales" is a film made of its director's stylistic tenacity, which rightly garnered him newfound attention as a director.”
