Two Mules for Sister Sara
Two Mules for Sister Sara is a 1970 American-Mexican western film directed by Don Siegel and starring Shirley MacLaine (billed above Clint Eastwood in the film's credits, but not on the poster) set during the French intervention in Mexico (1861-1867). The film was to have been the first in a five-year exclusive association between Universal Pictures and Sanen Productions of Mexico. The film marked the second of five collaborations between Siegel and Eastwood, following "Coogan's Bluff"
"Two Mules for Sister Sara" received moderately favorable reviews, and Roger Greenspun of the "New York Times" reported, "I'm not sure it is a great movie, but it is very good and it stays and grows on the mind the way only movies of exceptional narrative intelligence do". Stanley Kauffmann described the film as "an attempt to keep old Hollywood alive—a place where nuns "can" turn out to be disguised whores, where heroes "can" always have a stick of dynamite
