Wonderful drama set during Sherman's March in the Civil War
I remembered seeing this movie ages ago and that it took place during the Civil War, so I rented it for my teens. It actually had many elements of the Civil War in it and depicted the south pretty accurately during and after Sherman's March. (General William Tecumseh Sherman decided that the Civil War would be over quicker if he marched across the south burning and pillaging as he went. It devastated the south.) Anyway, aside from the historical elements, the storyline is a little graphic for anyone under 14 years old. I was surprised that there was a naked breast and derriere shown in this movie considering it was so old.

A wounded Yankee soldier (Clint Eastwood) is found by a 12 year-old girl from a boarding school in the woods. She brings him back to the school and the two women who run the boarding school, as well as another student, all fall in lust with him. I don't want to give the ending away, but needless to say he can't sleep with all of them in one night and the result is something horrific happens to him (these women can be vengeful). We laughed through it because I had forewarned my teens what was coming. Otherwise, it would have been even a bit graphic for them.

If you really want to know the graphic part, leave a comment and I will check back and post it there as it is pretty disturbing (made even me sick).

A EVIL CLINT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Beguiled is a very strange movie! No not David Lynch or Alejandro
Jodorowsky strange. I type strange for with the exception of
UNFORGIVEN I have never seen THE MAN play such a dark character,I mean
DARK! Drinking,wanting to perform RAPE??? CLINT what are you doing???
I think he was trying to show Hollywood and his fans there was more
to him than the lone cowboy or the hero detective with the big gun!
the Beguiled is a dark thriller with a SHOCKING ending! I really
love this movie and consider it ONE of his best(so does he in his
interviews)What I love so much is not just the directing,or story
but I love seeing the MAN in a EVIL role! So for you Bronco Billy
fans or Philoe Beddoe stay away!!! For those of you who want to see
Clint lick his lips and grin like the DEVIL while a girl reluctently
takes her clothes off. This is the movie for you! Clint has never been
more WICKED!!!! And has a VERY surprise ending!!!
Recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTE:Don't let the LAME cover of the DVD fool you! This is one SCARY
ride! CLINT! OH! CLINT! What the HELL happened! You got EVILLLLL!!!!!

Some what of a "B" movie but an interesting tale of greed
Production/Editing is a little rough but what is interesting are all the subplots that never make it to the TV screen, such as; the incestuous relationship the head mistress of the Girls School had with her now deceased brother, or the fantasized threesome of the Mistress and senior teacher. It was worth the $$$, especially if you're an Eastwood fan. Plus having only seen it on TV before half the plot is edited out for TV so it's really a much different movie in its original form.
