Product Description

Product Description

Old Mexico, occupied by the French, is a magnet for American mercenaries, looking to make a fast buck in the lawless country. One such gold-digger (Clint Eastwood) shows his fundamentally noble nature by saving a 'nun' (Shirley Maclaine) from being raped. She turns out in fact to be a prostitute, and the odd couple team up, facing continual confrontation with the French forces.

From Amazon.co.uk

In the cactus-studded Mexican backcountry of the 1860s, a surly drifter who could easily be mistaken for the Man with No Name becomes protector and lethal helpmate to a red-haired nun wanted by the French for aiding the Juarista revolutionaries. Essentially a two-character showcase for the newly stellar Clint Eastwood and what was beginning to seem the poststellar Shirley MacLaine (subbing for Elizabeth Taylor), this sardonic study in testy collaboration, mutual deception and distrust, and slightly creepy sexual attraction is highly rated by a fairly small number of critics--chiefly, one suspects, for the dual-auteur cachet of having been directed by Don Siegel and based on a story by Budd Boetticher. Others deem it an undersauced spaghetti Western and find that the stars grate on the viewer as well as each other. Cinematography by the great Gabriel Figueroa is some consolation, but... if only Boetticher had been allowed to direct. --Richard T. Jameson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 starsa nice witty take on a familiar Eastwood persona
By Stanley Crowe on 23 July 2015
Format: DVD
Shot in Mexico, and directed by Don Siegel with lovingly-detailed attention to the landscape, this 1970 movie is maybe a little slower than it might have been, but it's still enjoyable, even if it is a bit of an odd mixture of the violent and the comic. Most of the violence that might bother some viewers comes late, in a big battle scene, and the comedy, almost predictably, comes from the deadpan interactions of the main characters, Sister Sara (Shirley Maclaine) and the opportunistic gun-for-hire Hogan (Clint Eastwood), neither of whom is quite what he or she appears to be. What lies beneath the constructed personae is something that the audience begins to suspect quite quickly, but there's a pleasure in the leisurely pacing that defers our finding out whether or not we're right about them. I should add that the effective music is by Ennio Morricone, and as it plays over the great opening-credit visuals, it tells us that there are going to be odd things ahead.

The setting is Mexico, close to the American border, right after the Civil War, in which Hogan has fought. The movie doesn't say on which side he fought, but he now sees himself as a "sucker" for having been involved, and one can think of reasons why he might think that no matter what side he was on. Now he's looking for money and has made a deal with the Juarista Mexican rebel Colonel Beltran (Juan Fabregas) to help remove a French garrison from a fort in Chihuahua. Western aficionados will realize that the historical circumstances here are those of the earlier Burt Lancaster/Gary Cooper vehicle "Vera Cruz." The French are trying to maintain a colonial puppet government in Mexico, while the Mexicans are seeking their freedom. Hogan is on the Mexican side for the money - he says, and up to a point believes.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsTwo stars make a good team
By Dr. B. A. Juby on 18 Feb. 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
It's always good when two established stars team up to produce a good film. Here is Clint at his best as a lone cowboy after money who meets Shirley MacClaine as a nun being harassed. This film follows their adventures against the French Garrison and it is only at the end that the true identity of the nun is revealed and the reasons why the French want her so much. A good adventure yarn - even if the final scene is a bit implausible!

4.0 out of 5 starsI like being in the arms of a good-looking nun. How do you like it, Sister?
By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 5 Mar. 2013
Format: DVD
Two Mules for Sister Sara is directed by Don Siegel and adapted to screenplay by Albert Maltz from a story by Budd Boetticher. It stars Clint Eastwood, Shirley MacLaine, Manolo Fabregas and Alberto Morin. A Panavision/Technicolor production, the music is scored by Ennio Morricone and cinematography by Gabriel Figueroa.

Set during the reign of Emperor Maximilian in Mexico, plot finds Eastwood as a reconnaissance drifter for hire who saves a nun (MacLaine) from being gang-raped by three cowboys. Forming an unusual alliance as journey companions, it turns out that Sister Sara has many secrets to reveal...

It hardly set the American box office alight and critical reviews were lukewarm to say the least, and with Boetticher himself proving quite vociferous in his displeasure at how his source story was handled, Two Mules for Sister Sara is often thought of as a stinker. Is it? Well it's undeniably too long and Siegel is hardly stretching his directing prowess, but it's a fun adventure movie that is beautifully photographed and for the most part it finds Eastwood and MacLaine as a watchable double act. The central jokes of having Eastwood "fancy" a nun and said nun put into a number of compromising situations - wears thin because of the over long running time - but the film gets wrapped up nicely with some high octane action and a smile inducing ending.

Middle tier Eastwood and Siegel stuff for sure, and the prudes should stay away, but this is certainly better than its reputation suggests; flaws and all. 7/10

4.0 out of 5 starsCinematography from a True Master.
By Bob Salter TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 10 Dec. 2009
Format: DVD
You could easily be forgiven for assuming that "Two Mules for Sister Sara" is a typical "Spaghetti western", but you would be wrong in that assumption. Unlike the vast majority of those westerns which were filmed in Europe this one was filmed entirely on location in Mexico, and boy does it show! It is also directed by and financed by Americans. The distinctive musical score by the Italian master Ennio Morricone adds to the spaghetti feel, as does Clint Eastwood's appearance, still looking and acting in the guise of his "Man with no Name" character from his series of "dollar westerns" with the spaghetti great Sergio Leone. The film reminds me of one of those animals that have learnt to mimic another species to perfection! But to call it a mere mimic would be an injustice because it has a number of good features that lift it above the average western.

The film is set during the French intervention in Mexico in the 1800's. A mercenary played by Eastwood rescues a nun played by Shirley MacLaine from rape and murder. Together they travel to fight with the Juarista's against the despotic French. Eastwood for money, and MacLaine for the cause. As the journey progresses it becomes apparent that our nun is not all she seems. No great surprises there! We head to a bloody confrontation between the Juarista's and a heavily manned French garrison. The odds are against our band of heroes. But when have the odds got in the way of a good story?

What lifts this film above the average is the striking cinematography of the great Mexican genius Gabriel Figueroa, a man who resisted the lure of Hollywood and worked mostly in his country of birth.Read more ›
