All those guns to kill one man

I thought I had seen all the films starring Clint Eastwood, but somehow Joe Kidd has slipped under the radar. It has an amazing line-up: starring Clint Eastwood, John Saxon and Robert Duvall, music by Lalo Schifrin (Mission: Impossible, Bullitt, Cool Hand Luke), it's written by Elmore Leonard and directed by John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral). All is well, a lovely little gem from 1972. Joe Kidd is a town drunk, trouble maker and hunter of people and animals. He's playing it cool when landowners are busy shooting each other.
