The Beguiled

at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) Screening Room
(see times)
The inspiration for our series came from this indescribable gem from the director and star of Dirty Harry, coadapted by blacklisted screenwriter Albert Maltz. Clint Eastwood plays a wounded Union soldier nursed back to health at a remote all-girls school in Louisiana, setting in motion a chain of events both quite within, and yet quite out of, his grasp. Geraldine Page and doomed-in-real-life Elizabeth Hartman turn in terrific supporting performances. Part plantation melodrama, part gothic horror, and part salacious romp, The Beguiled plays like a Technicolor nocturnal emission, somehow green-lighted by a Universal Studios expecting to market a squinty-eyed Eastwood Western. Peter Conheim
Written by John B. Sherry [Albert Maltz] and Grimes Grice [Irene Kamp], based on the novel by Thomas Cullinan. Photographed by Bruce Surtees. With Clint Eastwood, Geraldine Page, Elizabeth Hartman, Jo Ann Harris. (109 mins, Color, 35mm, From Universal Pictures.
