3.0 out of 5 stars An idolatrous look at Clint Eastwood and Malpaso., June 7, 2003

By	Chadwick H. Saxelid "Bookworm" (Concord, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Fuensanta Plaza takes a studious and critical look at each movie made and/or produced by Clint Eastwood and his Malpaso film company. Starting with the first Malpaso film (the Ted Post directed Hang 'Em High) and ending with Eastwood's White Hunter, Black Heart (just when the actor/producer/director was getting long overdue critical attention) Plaza focuses less on Eastwood and more on the dedicated crew he has built over the years. Composers, cinematographers, costume designers, and even sound editors all have a say in how they help Eastwood craft his distinctive productions. If there is a drawback to this coffee table book edition, then it is Plaza's over praise of Eastwood's movies (with the one exception of the second Dirty Harry movie, Magnum Force - interestingly it is illustrated with a still from the THIRD Dirty Harry movie, The Enforcer). Every one is called masterful and brilliant and unique, which is untrue. While Eastwood has produced numerous classic movies, none are without flaws. Still, Eastwood fans will love having this around to show off to friends.
