ABSTRACT
Clint Eastwood is perhaps not best known for his war movies, but there are several in the Eastwood corpus, specifically two of his early movies, both directed by Brian Hutton and both set in World War II: Where Eagles Dare (1969) and Kelly’s Heroes (1970). One can also think of Firefox as a war movie since it is a movie about military things, set in and released during what we call the cold war, and of course there is Heartbreak Ridge, which is more recent than any of these and of all Eastwood movies the one most overtly concerned with warfare.
