Clint Eastwood Photo Opportunity #22

Clint Eastwood Photo Opportunity #22

I like to try and begin the New Year with a Clint Eastwood Photo Opportunity - besides, we haven’t had one since October last year. Not that we need much of a reason or excuse to post a great picture of Clint, it's just a little something to make us smile during these testing times.

So while we seem to have fallen into a bit of a mini Thunderbolt & Lightfoot binge, I thought I’d post this cracking photo of first time director Michael Cimino with Clint during a break in filming. Every time I look at this shot I wonder what Cimino might had been saying – with a finger planted in Clint’s chest, it looks on the surface to be quite ominous (although perhaps not to be recommended). 

Then again, perhaps it was a constructive conversation? Perhaps Cimino was trying to justify why he needed just one more take? Perhaps it was a discussion about power and stature within the industry?

Yes, we’ll go with that scenario. After all, Clint appears to be the only one laughing…
