Two Mules for Sister Sara 4K 1970

Fortune hunter Hogan saves the life of a nun, Sister Sarah, whose honor and dignity was attempted by a trio of bandits. Grateful Sara tells her unexpected savior that she is on her way to the bottom of the place, which interests Hogan with the possibility of getting a lot of money.Hogan and Sister Sara start wandering through the desert. Along the way they are set up by rattlesnakes, Indians, Frenchmen, predators and other troubles.

From the first frames it seems that the movie is a continuation of Leone's 'macaroni' trilogy - this is facilitated by both Clint Eastwood, who plays the lead role, and Ennio Morricone, the author of the soundtrack - the trilogy's calling cards. And the ease with which Hogan deals with the scoundrels threatening his sister Sarah and his demeanor, smoking and drinking whiskey only reinforce this opinion.

However, the differences between the movie and Leone's creations soon become clear. The plot of the movie is more straightforward, although there are pitfalls that turn the course of the movie 180 degrees. Eastwood's character is softer this time around, not as unsociable, he talks and jokes a lot more. Sister Sarah is also not as simple as it seems at first glance - some words and gestures give her away as a rather extraordinary nun, but neither Hogan nor the audience guesses about her true face until the end of the movie.

The secondary characters are not inferior in colorfulness, especially Colonel Beltran of the Mexican army, who has the nerve and courage to tease Hogan himself, stands out.

Hogan, by the way, is a truly battery-powered 'Energizer'. Dynamically developing plot does not give the heroes a moment of rest, nevertheless, Hogan does not get discouraged and goes to the fulfillment of his goal, not turning from the planned course and not paying attention to anything. Except for Sister Sarah. Yes, Sister Sarah is a problem. It's not her, it's her ministry. If he'd met her earlier... Yes, yes, yes, yes, this movie brings something to the table that hasn't been seen in Leone's films - a romantic line, all the more poignant because one of its participants is a nun. Or is she?

All in all, Don Siegel has made an excellent western, consisting of colorful and charismatic characters, provided with a considerable dose of humor, seasoned with shootouts and one full-fledged assault. Can be considered a great way to complete the story of the troubled Man With No Name from the films of Sergio Leone. Fans of westerns and Clint Eastwood should watch it.
