I can't decide who's the best "man's man" movie director, Sturges or John Milius. Their films just celebrate the male testosterone unashamedly. Great casts, great action.
I thought that the Hour of the Gun & The Hallelujah Trail were far superior to Joe Kidd . For me , Joe Kidd is a mediocre western & my least favourite Clint Eastwood western . The only Clint Eastwood western I haven't seen is Paint Your Wagon .
