I did start watching, it looked gloomy and on that day I wasn't ready for gloomy so I indulged my mental laziness &amp; stopped. I will go back now and watch it.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ClintEastwood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClintEastwood</span></a> just can't act badly, can he? He was already good in the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Rawhide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rawhide</span></a> TV series, some 60 years before The Mule. Uniquely present in each film stage, though I'll pass over the ugly Dirty Harry phase. The late Clint is in a league of his own.
