High Plains Drifter (1973)
A mysterious gunman signs on to protect a small town from bandits.
Cast: Clint Eastwood, Verna Bloom, Marianna Hill, Mitch Ryan Dir: Clint Eastwood C-105 mins, TV-14. 11:00 PM. EDT. TCM.
Eastwood’s been a great director for a long time and these early films give a good glimpse into the genius inside. I still hold to Josey Wales and Unforgiven as my favorites, but this is in my Top5 Eastwood films. On at 8:00 is prior CPOD Once Upon A Time in the West

Love High Plains Drifter but Once Upon A Time In the West was a jumbled mess to me. I see why Clint refused to do it.
Don’t you mean CPOD? I’m pretty sure Once Upon A Time In The West wasn’t a chronic pulmonary disease.
Eric here — fixed and thankee thankee for the heads-up!
You’re nice, Floyd would have fixed it but left my comment to shame and confuse.
That’s just the kind of guy that he is.
Amen brother.
Just pointing out the obvious.
High Plans Drifter, weirded me out when I was a kid…but I was easily spooked back then.
It’s a strange movie. Almost great, but it lacks… something. Maybe a comprehensible ending.
