"Most certainly Beard has made a significant addition to the growing critical acknowledgment of Eastwood's importance in American filmmaking since 1960: both as a reflection of American social and cinematic values and as an ambiguous commentator on them." - Anne Lancashire, University of Toronto Quarterly, Wwinter 2001/2002, Letters in Canada, vol 71:1
"Unlike two other commendable academic works on Eastwood,.this volume integrates the subject's screen persona with his auteurist sensibility.
