A snake in nun's clothing


Two Mules for Sister Sara (1970)

Directed by Don Siegel this film stars Shirely MacLaine, Clint Eastwood and Manolo Fabregas. During the French intervention in Mexico an unlikely team of a mercenary and a nun help the revolutionaries.

This is an entertaining western and one of a number of good collaborations between Siegel and Eastwood. There are some good moments between the two leads but the film really much depth beyond the basic plot. Filming in Mexico gives the movie some good back drops and a touch of authenticity which is a nice change from Spanish filmed westerns.

3/5
