Intercut with the star's observations are archival photos, memorable movie scenes and commentary by co-stars (Gene Hackman, Genevieve Bujold, Frances Fisher, Marsha Mason, Jessica Walter) and colleagues (director Michael Cimino and Ted Post, plus Malpaso filmmaking "regulars"). There's plenty here to intrigue, enlighten and entertain, so go ahead: let "Clint Eastwood: The Man From Malpaso" make your day.
