Clint Eastwood's second film as a director finds the celebrated action star returning to his familiar Old West stomping grounds and his internationally acclaimed role of "The Man With No Name." This time, The Stranger (Eastwood) mysteriously appears out of the heat waves of the desert and rides into the lawless, sin-ridden town of Lago. After making a name for himself with a string of blazing gun battles, The Stranger is hired by the townspeople to provide protection from three ruthless gunmen just out of jail. The Stranger quickly proceeds to paint the entire town bright red, rename it "Hell," and supply divine retribution in the fiery, pulse-pounding climax of this acclaimed western shoot-em-up.

    The town got punished not for hiring these goons in the first place and not even only for their cowardice in letting Jim Duncan die, but for all of them assenting in one form or another to the Marshal's murder because he was about to bring evidence that Lago didn't have proper title to the land on which the gold mine was located. The people who ran the mining company had Stacy Bridges and his cousins do the killing (and then betrayed and set them up on the robbery charge) but the whole town allowed the murder to protect their community interest in the mine and thus became wholly corrupted. That was the hidden crime of Lago, the sin for which the whole town was held for judgment. The very few who tried to object or even intervene, like Sarah Belling, or were too terrified to act like Mordecai, were suppressed and ended up having to live with the guilt along with everyone else because they had nowhere else to go.

    The western genre would have died out in the 70s without Clint, he was the perfect actor for the new wave of gritty and highly stylised westerns pioneered by the Italian film industry and acted as the bridge to bring it into everyday American culture and even make it their own by doubling down on the hard edge Clint brought with his characterisation. At one point it was almost entirely only Clint that could deliver a western and sell tickets for it at the cinema, films like High Plains drifter and Pale Rider are probably the 2 best known examples of this along with Unforgiven.

Not Gene Autry and not the clean shaven dapper soft hand singing cowboys.. A lot of that grit is remixed into the Tarantino style of films that people seem to find so satisfying despite their endless lust for glorified stylized violence and sadomasochism especially against women and people who are indistinguishable as being either good or bad.

The silence is deafening and scary because they know there’s a ghost killer exacting revenge on them. Clint even Hangs ‘‘em High! He whispers: Help Me! Help Me! But they don’t get it. He’s an Avenger. One of my favorite Eastwood movies! He even painted the Town Red because it was like Hell.

I thought it was supposed to be the ghost of the sheriff brought back in physical form to take his revenge, but I always wondered why nobody recognized him. So if he did somehow possess a living gunslinger, that would solve the recognition problem. Yet I seem to remember a scene from the movie, a flashback where we see the sheriff murdered, and it was Eastwood himself who clearly was the sheriff. And both the fading in and fading out of the gunslinger at the beginning and end of the movie seems to imply he wasn't a real human.

Then the stranger says to him "you know who I am"( the little man gives him a look of terror)" you take care". "Aye aye captain" then rides off the way he rode in.

    I saw old Clint on a show about his career last night, I've never seen paint your wagon, heard of it of course thanks to Lee Marvin, but old Clint sings aswell! I had too agree that Clint really is a superstar, it's when you realise he did those 3 Spaghetti westerns then he played the DJ in play misty for me then Dirty Harry but also made those 2 war films Where Eagles Dare & Kelly's Hero's, the latter one would've tanked but went on to be a success, but only because of Clint.

    Thanks for uploading this scene. I always thought the fake dynamite part was pretty neat!
