Clint Eastwood Rare Radio Promo Jan 3rd 1967


I was recently sent this incredible radio interview recorded on January 3rd 1967. Originally broadcast on the Canadian Radio Show 'Assignment' – Clint is interviewed by Bill McNeil. It’s a really wonderful discovery. 

It is evident that this was not a pre-recorded open interview as Clint refers to McNeil by name and mentions Canada. So it was obviously part of the promotional tour which Clint undertook and would see him arrive in the UK just 5 months later. There is also a reference to Bond (Thunderball). 

It’s also interesting that Clint does not mention either of the two sequels, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, both of which were already filmed and in the can by this point in time.

It makes for a fascinating insight and presented here purely for educational purposes
