Go ahead, make my movie.

Here's a couple pictures of Clint Eastwood at work. First up, Dirty Harry (1971). Seems to be the quarry scene at the end. Is that the great Don Siegel behind the camera in the floppy hat?

Next is High Plains Drifter (1973), which Clint both starred in and directed. This film seems to be going through a bit of a reappraisal lately, which it deserves. Throughout, you can really see the influences of Eastwood's key directors, Don Siegel and Sergio Leone. Who needs film school when you can watch those guys at work? And why hasn't Dee Barton's score ever been released?

(Both images were found somewhere on the Internet, a long time ago.)
