Posts from ethanedwards in thread „Speaking Of Clint Eastwood“

Hi Ringo,

Thanks,
in John Wayne American, Duke is quoted as saying, that he liked Clints films, and recognized elements of his own work at every turn. Just like Ringo Kid and Ethan Edwards, Clints character are hard-boiled, steely-eyed, cynical, loners, willing to draw a gun and shoot predators. Duke also noticed the differences, he thought Clint exaggerated the persona. He mentions that if it had been Clints(Jed) instead of Dukes(Ethan), that found, the girl, he would have probably shot her!
When Duke saw, Dirty Harry, he knew he had made a mistake!"How did I ever let that one slip through my fingers?" he lamented to Mary!

Hi Chester and Ringo,
Didn't Duke once say, that he liked Clints movies, and that if anyone could carry the western genre, it would be him.
