allegory of the healing of America. The Outlaw
Josey Wales (1976), Clint Eastwood's 31st film as
an actor, 20th as international star and 5th as
director, was the first to win him widespread

producer-star replaced Philip Kaufman (The Right
Stuff) in the director's chair a week into
shooting. They ended up cheering when Eastwood
delivered both his most sympathetic performance to
date and--with the heroic collaboration of
cinematographer Bruce Surtees--an impressive
Panavision epic that stresses the scruffiness,
rather than the scenic splendors, of frontier
life. Though it's been honoured with a place in
the National Film Registry, Josey Wales is good,
not great, Eastwood. The big-gun fetishism can get
tiresome, and too many characters exist only to
serve as six-gun (and at one point Gatling gun)
fodder. But mostly the film is agreeably
eccentric, and almost furtively sweet in spirit--a
key transitional title in the Eastwood
filmography, and one of his most entertaining.

Outlaw Josey Wales
Review of The Outlaw Josey Wales (Special Edition) (Wide Screen) by nebcsa17th

Advantages: Great action
Disadvantages: None

This is probebly the best movie that Eastwood made. It has everything from betrayal of friends to trust of strangers & loss of everything you have to a chance of a new begining. One of thoes rare times when a film has done justice to the book. A great western about a man who loses his family at the beginning of the civil war to redlegs rampaging the south. His only way to get back at them is to join the confederates and fight them all. When the war ... Read review

...family and then betrayal at the end of the civil war, Josey Wales acquires a collection of characters (including an aged Indian who enjoys sneaking up on people and a young girl - played by Sondra Locke - who he saves from being raped) andbecomes a guide and protector. It is an engaging story and as a movie sits well alongside the spaghetti pix Clint Eastwood had previously made. He is the director here as well - the movie shows the promise he was ... Read review

DVD Description

As the film opens, Josey Wales is a simple farmer in Missouri. When a vicious band of Union Red Legs, led by Terrill (Bill McKinney), burns his home to the ground, killing his wife and son, Wales joins a gang of Confederate raiders, determined to get revenge. After the Confederacy loses the war, Wales sets out on his own, an outlaw who kills to survive. He eventually meets an old Indian (Chief Dan George, in a wonderfully sympathetic performance) and some other outcasts, and together they seek out a more peaceful existence. But Terrill continues to hunt Wales, and the simple farmer is forced to fight again. Critics did not take Clint Eastwood's THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES seriously in 1976. Today, many consider it one of the greatest Westerns ever made. Here the West is an ugly and brutal place, as it is in Sergio Leone's films, but this is a different kind of Eastwood hero. He has a name, a sense of humor, and a heart. Made in the shadow of Vietnam and Watergate, the film conveys a bitter distrust of government but also a longing to live in peace. Next to UNFORGIVEN, this is the most sweeping and emotionally complex of Eastwood's Westerns.
