Product Description:
Clint Eastwood is a hard-hitting high plains drifter who rides into town and single-handedly rescues a local nun (Shirley MacLaine) from a gang of attackers. After meeting a band of Mexican revolutionaries bent on resisting the French occupation of Mexico, the cowboy and Sister Sara decide to join forces with the freedom fighters and set off on a deadly mission to capture the enemy's garrison. But along the way, a steamy romance develops between them when the soft-spoken hero discovers the nun is not what she seems. Ending with a violent climax at the well-protected fort, this action-packed western classic cemented Eastwood's status as a true cinematic superstar!
Amazon.com:
In the cactus-studded Mexican backcountry of the 1860s, a surly drifter who could easily be mistaken for the Man with No Name becomes protector and lethal helpmate to a red-haired nun wanted by the French for aiding the Juarista revolutionaries. Essentially a two-character showcase for the newly stellar Clint Eastwood and what was beginning to seem the poststellar Shirley MacLaine (subbing for Elizabeth Taylor), this sardonic study in testy collaboration, mutual deception and distrust, and slightly creepy sexual attraction is highly rated by a fairly small number of critics--chiefly, one suspects, for the dual-auteur cachet of having been directed by Don Siegel and based on a story by Budd Boetticher. Others deem it an undersauced spaghetti Western and find that the stars grate on the viewer as well as each other. Cinematography by the great Gabriel Figueroa is some consolation, but... if only Boetticher had been allowed to direct. --Richard T. Jameson

IT WAS GOOD THEN(WHEN THEY MADE IT ) IT IS STILL GOOD !
Rating: - Two Mules for Sister Sara
I just love the old Clint Eastwood movies. In the desert Clint Eastwood runs into a nun that he decides to help. The nun turns out to be a saloon girl, bordello type, that adds a nice twist to this movie. I like to watch it time and time again.
Rating: - They just don't make great westerns like this one anymore!
Fun movie! Clint Eastwood and Shirley Mclaine are quite
the pair in this wonderful western. The scenery is terrific
and the action is fun to watch. We don't have great actors like these two or Brian Keith or Burt Lancaster or Lee Marvinor Jason Robards that made believablewesterns.
I am glad I have a piece of the good old days with this
movie in my collection.
Rating: - Two Mules For Sister Sara
This film is a great vehicle for Shirley MacLaine & Clint Eastwood. It has always been one of my favorite Eastwood westerns. Though the film, once viewed, will not have the same impact with subsequent viewings because you already know that Sister Sara is NOT a nun.
The film isn't only a dramatic western it also contains some whimsical & funny moments. Throughout the film hints are dropped to the audience that Sara isn't all she appears to be: When she picks up the cheroot butt & puffs ... Read More
Rating: - Good Moive
This is a good movie.The two stars compliment each other.It's not over done and tiring. Worth watching more than once, that's why I bought it.
