Clint Eastwood’s dust bowl drama is a sensitive road picture about a mostly luckless aspiring country music singer.
Eastwood as a director has always walked the fine line between endorsing unabashed masculinity and ripping it to shreds.
While not enough of a grand statement to be taken as a career turning point, the film nonetheless signaled a change in the winds for Eastwood.
Eastwood is the selling point here, but this one is for the jazz fans.
