One of Clint Eastwood’s most successful and best loved films, in which he plays bare knuckle fighter Philo Beddoe, with a pet orangutan called Clyde, who almost steals the show and a foul-mouthed mother (Ruth Gordon, who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Roman Polanski’s ROSEMARY’S BABY).
Soon however, Beddoe has to deal with a gang of bikers who taunt Clyde when one of them throws a banana peel at him, whilst striking up a relationship with singer Lynn Halsey-Taylor (Sondra Locke)
All in all, a good time movie for anyone looking for one.
