Critics reviews
In his first film as a director, Eastwood, who is 43 years old, is a calm and clear master, multiplying incisive angles, brisk stagings, powerfully composed close-ups, thrilling camera moves. But above all, Eastwood, who was of course best known for his performances in action films and westerns, turned out to be, from the very start, a filmmaker with a comprehensive, essentially political worldview.

Sprawling helicopter shots bracket the tale, the superstar on the Carmel coastline like Narcissus by the pond and then the painted portrait with its eyes slashed out. . . . Above all an inquiry into the Eastwood persona itself, the pricking of the stud’s complacency until the Man with No Name finds himself staring in terror at the audience, trapped in a freeze-frame with the tenacious conquest.
