High Plains Drifter (1973)

Date: 6 Nov 2010 05:39:59

High Plains Drifter is a 1973 American Western film, with a hint of the supernatural, directed by Clint Eastwood and produced by Robert Daley for The Malpaso Company and Universal Pictures. Eastwood also stars in the film, as a mysterious gunfighter who is hired by a corrupt frontier mining town to defend it against a group of criminals. It was influenced by the work of Eastwood's two major collaborators Sergio Leone and Don Siegel.

Plot: The story depicts the efforts of a small mining town to defend itself against a group of rogue gunfighters with the help of a mysterious outsider (Eastwood), referred to as the Stranger. The town reveals its timidity and corruption when they hire the Stranger to protect them. As the film begins, the Stranger rides into the fictional mining town of Lago, in a setting similar to the Arizona territory. Three gun-toting men follow him into the saloon and then the barbershop, taunting and ridiculing him, but when one of them swivels him around in the barber's chair, he shoots all three of them dead. Impressed with this performance, a dwarf named Mordecai (Curtis) befriends the Stranger. Then an attractive townswoman named Callie Travers (Hill) bumps into him in the street and insults and badgers him. When she slaps him, he drags her into the livery stable and rapes her. Next, he rents a room at the hotel. When he lies down to sleep, he remembers a scene in which a man is brutally whipped. It is revealed later in the film that Marshal Jim Duncan was whipped to death by gunfighters Stacey Bridges (Lewis), Dan Carlin (Vadis), and Cole Carlin (James) while the people of Lago looked on. Only Sarah Belding (Bloom), wife of hotelier Lewis Belding (Hartley), made any attempt to rescue Marshal Duncan. Various indications throughout the film suggest that the Stranger is some sort of reincarnation or embodiment of Duncan's spirit. The next day, Sheriff Shaw (Barnes) tells the stranger he will not be charged for killing the three men. Meanwhile, the townsmen discuss Bridges and the Carlin brothers, who are due to be released from prison that day. The town double-crossed the three gunfighters after they killed Duncan, who had discovered that the Lago Mining Company was operating on government land, and the men are expected to seek vengeance against the town. Since the men slain by the Stranger were the mining company's new protectors, the townsmen decide to hire the Stranger as their replacement.
