Every Which Way but Loose
Directed by James Fargo
Philo Beddoe is your regular, easygoing, truck-driving guy. He's also the best bar-room brawler west of the Rockies. And he lives with a 165-pound orangutan named Clyde. Like other guys, Philo finally falls in love - with a flighty singer who leads him on a screwball chase across the American Southwest. Nothing's in the way except a motorcycle gang, some cops, and legendary brawler Tank Murdock. From TMDB

It was the early days of home video and my mum rented it because she fancied Clint Eastwood, having recently seen Every Which Way You Can and Every Which Way But Loose. If you haven’t seen it suffice to say the Beguiled is VERY MUCH Not The Same Kind of Movie.

The whole movie had attention deficit disorder.
