Very best movie i ever watch

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Two Mules For Sister Sara is a very sharp looking, tightly directed and quick paced action packed western. This is pretty lighthearted in tone and a entertaining film. While, Two Mules For Sister Sara is not one of Clint's absolute best westerns, it is a solid film in its own right and has a lot of the same look and feel that resembles his Italian westerns. Ennio Morricone's score is excellent and provides great aural enhancement to supplement the story. Don Siegel is regarded as one of the finest directors working and this was very well put together. Shirley MacLaine is equally funny and oozing of sex appeal, looking very foxy in her nun uniform. She had pretty good chemistry with Clint and Two Mules For Sister Sara is a solid and entertaining western.

Ennio Morricone writes a letter to Don Siegel after watching Two Mules for Sister Sara:Dear Mr.Siegel,please understand that I worked very hard on the score for your movie. I consider it to be one of my best Western scores after the ones I composed for Sergio. I was very impressed by the way the title theme was used. In fact, the whole title sequence filled with the scenes from nature and its animals was wonderful. I was delighted by it and was expecting so much more.But what happened after that? I was confounded by your insistence on shooting in raw sunlight. Or did you actually use lights during the day? I thought I was on a beach in Arpino or something. There were no interesting camera angles either. Just a rigid camera recording wearisome and silly actions of these actors. I thought I would fall asleep.The rest of my score was wasted on utterly banal scenes. The use of the title theme during the final scene in the bathtub was ridiculous. I consider this to be an insult. And the beautiful "A time for miracles". What did you do with it, Mr.Seigel? It was such a melancholic tune with Christian chanting. You wasted it.You cast a beautiful woman like Shirley Mclaine in the role of a nun. And what for? I have still not understood. Why was she disguised as a nun? It was so disappointing. Were you trying to copy the wonderful Heaven Knows Mr.Allison?I was utterly disgusted by the use of the Mexican underclass as a mere embellishment in your film. The whole part where Sara and Hogan help the Mexican revolutionary so that they could rob the treasure was so fake. Why were they even required? The action scenes apart from the train bombing scene were so poorly executed.The film is an utter failure as a Western and an adventure film. Even the exchanges between atheist Hogan and Sister Sara were dull. You have wasted a wonderful setting with two great stars. And wasted my score which I worked very hard on.I think I will go home and drink some Tequila now.Ennio.(4/10)

This 1970 producion is the first "spaghetti western" made by mainstream Hollywood featuring Eastwood. The original spaghetti westerns were directed by Sergio Leone and were originally in Italian (Eastwood only added his voice when they were dubbed into English and released in the US).These Italian westerns which made Eastwood famous were filmed in Spain in the last half of the 60s.In this movie Eastwood is a mercenary who has agreed to blow up a French garrison for Mexican revolutionaries in return for half the cash stored there. On his way to this job he saves McClain from being raped and the two proceed with their aims as a duo (she too is helping the revolutionaries disguised as a nun).As an aside Siegel said later that McClain was very hard to work with-- she was tough and "it is like she has balls". She and Eastwood did not get along. Also Eastwood said he had to kill the rattlesnake because Mexican authorities did not want it released in that area. Eastwood does not believe in killing animals--he obviously is against hunting.Siegel's cinematography is flawless may I even say fantastic--watch the mountain lion and the horse stepping on the spider. The story is good up until about the last 30 minutes when it degenerates into a boring moralizing Hollywood finale with a mass assault on the garrison (I much prefer finales with Eastwood and his 6 shooter) also a dud cliché surprise denouement involving McClain.So in summary very good for the first hour but doesn't maintain it.Misc: This movie was high budget for the time (over $4 million) it was moderately successful grossing about $4.5 million in N. America. It was filmed entirely in Mexico over about 60 days.RECOMMEND

An imitation spaghetti Western directed by Don Siegel, written by Budd Boettiger, with music by Ennio Morricone, starring Clint Eastwood (he's the guy with the little cigar and the poncho) and Shirley MacLaine as a fake nun.Well, they all know their business so it should be pretty good and, in fact, it's not terrible. Eastwood, of course, could have walked through the picture. The nearest he comes to a smile is a kind of pained grimace but that's all required of him -- that and lighting a stick of dynamite with that cigar and an expression of complete removal from the situation.I don't know exactly what Shirley MacLaine is doing in this. One thinks of her neither as a nun nor as a female figure to be batted around by a seedy hero like Eastwood, let alone the grease balls against whom they're fighting.Two good scenes stand out. In one, Eastwood's shoulder is pierced by an Indian arrow and MacLaine must remove it by the most painful process imaginable. Eastwood actually gets to register pain for once.Scene two. What with that injured shoulder, Eastwood can hardly be expected to climb the trestle that carries the railroad tracks across the gorge so that dynamite can be planted and the bridge destroyed at the moment the train is crossing it. MacLaine must do it. It would be easier if she just climbed the hill, walked out on the rickety bridge, and tucked the dynamite away underneath the rails but not nearly so dramatic. Or so amusing when Eastwood, using only one arm and while drunk, must try to balance the rifle on MacLaine's shoulder and try to hit and explode the dynamite.Morricone's goofy musical score tells us that he, at least, recognized this movie for the joke it was.
