High Plains Drifter

Dir. Clint Eastwood (1973). As punitive as Dirty Harry, Eastwood’s first Western (as a director) reimagines High Noon to match the sour aftermath of US disengagement from Vietnam—it’s the spectacle of quasi-divine punishment visited against a gutless, guilty town that hires (or rather drafts) men to do its dirty work, and then discards them.
