Tracy Letts

But I revisited it on Canopy.

It's a good movie.

Everything about it is a little surprising that it's not better than it is.

That you've got Eastwood as the hero and Duvall as the bad guy and written by Elmore Leonard and directed by John Sturges, who had certainly made a lot of great movies.

Now, maybe he's at the end of his run here.

I know that Sturges and Eastwood fought terribly and Sturges was perhaps drunk on set a lot.

Yeah, I watched some of the extras.

Don Stroud, who's in the movie, I saw an interview with him talking about the film.

And he said Clint should have directed the film.

We would have all been better off if Clint had directed the film.

But it certainly doesn't...

Interesting.

And he was going to fire Philip Kaufman off of Outlaw Josie Wales a couple of years after this.

That's right.

So clearly Eastwood had gotten to the point where he was particular about the way these things were being put together.

No, it's maybe not the best.

You say point blank?

I'm going to say point blank.

Okay.

Well, look.
