The Book of Murdock

Page 21

by Loren D. Estleman


  Pale Rider. Directed by Clint Eastwood, starring Clint Eastwood, Michael Moriarty, Carrie Snodgress, Christopher Penn, and John Russell. 1985.

  Eastwood’s spooky savior wears a clerical collar and answers to “Preacher,” but he spouts more bullets than gospel in a nearly scene-for-scene plagiarism of Shane, with a heavy overlay of his earlier High Plains Drifter. Former Lawman star Russell is hypnotic in his last role, but it’s a dreary film and misses all the subtlety of its inspiration.
