Two Mules For Sister Sara

I liked the entire movie. This dvd was for my home usage.

Great DVD

These days older movies are best

Just what I wanted

Don Siegel’s “Two Mules for Sister Sara” captures the best elements of Hollywood film and Sergio Leone’s Spaghetti Westerns. Shot in Mexico, the film follows Hogan (Clint Eastwood) a former soldier employed by Mexican revolutionaries fighting against the invading French. Hogan stumbles upon the attempted rape of a nun named Sara (Shirley MacLaine) who the French are looking for-it seems she’s raising money for the Mexican army. Hogan agrees to help Sister Sara get to the Mexican camp if, I’m the process, he gets the money being held by the French in their garrison when the camp attacks.A well crafted and oiled machine, Siegel does a great job of getting the film to run smoothly. Evidently MacLaine and director Siegel didn’t exactly enjoy working together and MacLaine wasn’t feminine enough for Siegel’s taste; he commented that she was a hard, cold woman who was hard to get to like. Eastwood surprisingly found her somewhat intimidating to work with due to the same qualities. Perhaps MacLaine was method acting either way the film survived the less than ideal working relationship and has gone on to become a classic western.The restoration done for the film looks marvelous-colors pop and the burnished skin tones represent what the film should look like. I do question why Kinko decided to put the domestic versi0n and International version on separate discs-there’s only nine minutes of additional footage in the International cut and I wonder why it couldn’t have been authored using seamless branching. Nevertheless, both versions (using much of the same source) look marvelous. It doesn’t state if the 4K resorrari0n is from the original camera negative or not for both films but, either way, this bests the Blu-ray that Universal put out with a maxed out bit rate.The audio sound terrific with a dialog up front and clear and Ennio Morricone’s iconic score crystal clear. Subtitles are provided in English only.The special features included a good commentary track by film director Alex Cox on the international version, a vintage featurette with Clint Eastwood at home (with the restoration footage interpolated replacing the poor black and white footage used in the original version of thefeaturette) and poster/stills gallery. The domestic version features 2 TV and 4 radio spots along with the original theatrical trailer.This is region A locked. Kino does provide a reversible cover with one side using the original poster artwork.

It's been decades since I last saw this movie, and quite frankly I wasn't sure why I had it on my saved list, but, decided to buy it. I'm glad I did, very enjoyable. Not at all what I anticipated, a nice plot twist. Two great infamous actors in their youth. A real pleasure to watch.

Clint is so funny 😆

One of the all time great spaghetti westerns. Must watch for anyone

Great dvd mum loves it, excellent value for money quick delivery recommended

Genial versión en blue Ray, caja en castellano y la pelicula viene con una buena calidad de imagen y lo más importante, el doblaje al castellano es el original con lo que no tendremos sorpresas de escuchar a Clint y compañía con voces nuevas. Contento con ella.

流れ者のイーストウッドと修道女役のシャーリー・マクレーンの二人旅のこの映画、尼さんを逆手に取った演出がかなり面白いです。ラバのお尻をペチペチ叩くキュートな尼さん、隠れて葉巻を吸う尼さん、ウィスキーを煽る尼さん、極めつけはイーストウッドに鉄拳をふるう尼さん、と一つ一つのシーンがいちいち面白いです。ラストでゴージャスなマダムに変身するオチも素晴らしくて文句無し。

I haven't watched this film in many years - it still made me smile. Clint is Clint, as always, and Shirley Maclane was a delight.

尼僧を演じるシャーリー・マクレーン。フランス騎兵隊がメキシコ軍の支援資金を募るサラを捜していた。フランス軍は大勢のメキシコ人を虐殺し彼らの町を植民地にしようとしている。7月14日は祭日で駐屯軍は酔いつぶれるはず。ホーガンが現れたのは奇跡。欲望が起こった時は静まるまで祈るサラ。ホーガンはなぜ戦ったのか。ホーガンは人生に何を望んでいるのか。サラは馬に積めないほどのダイナマイトを買う金を集めた。尼僧よりもゲリラにしたいサラ。望みは砦の中庭に通じる地下道。元兵士を演じるクリント・イーストウッド。ホーガンは暴行されかかっていたサラを助けだした。サラはフランス軍が大嫌いでゲリラと暮らせば安全だと思っていた。ホーガンはゲリラに雇われていた。そしてサラをゲリラ村に案内する。戦争にこりていたホーガンは戦う目的など一切関係なく金にしか興味がない。人間一度はバカになる。望みは砦を占領したらその金でデカい賭博場を始めたい。革命記念日の7月14日。列車事件で警戒していて奇襲は無理。正攻法で勝ち目は無い。サラの作戦は正気の沙汰とは思えない。
