*Fargo had served as AD on Joe Kidd, High Plains Drifter, Breezy, The Eiger Sanction, and The Outlaw Josey Wales.

*Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, and The Enforcer had all been huge-grossing Warner/ Malpaso Christmas-holiday-release pictures.

*The deal for The Car had made the duo “hot” in the industry, not the actual script or the film that was made from it. As ever in Hollywood, money talked, and more money meant more power, one of the reasons Clint never liked to pay that much to writers. He had formed Malpaso to ensure his own autonomous power base (and financial stronghold) and did not like to give up a great deal of money, because that meant, to him at least, surrendering authority, or power, to underlings.

*She lost to Ruth Gordon in Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby. The other nominees were Lynn Carlin in John Cassavetes’s Faces, Kay Medford in William Wyler’s Funny Girl, and Estelle Parsons in Paul Newman’s Rachel, Rachel.

*The primary difference between Wayne and Clint was that Wayne’s movies deliberately proselytized über-patriotism, roughly from David Miller’s Flying Tigers (1942) through Wayne’s self-directed Vietnam War opus, The Green Berets (1968). Clint preferred to explore the flaws of individual characters in his films rather than deliver an explicit message. Both actors (and directors) may have achieved similar results—some might say Dirty Harry is more political than The Green Berets, but as artistic statements, the films, taken out of their social context, reflect far different creative approaches and artistic results.

*Clint’s character, Philo Beddoe, was twenty-nine years old in the original script. During production, writer Jeremy Joe Kronsberg teased Clint that the script would have to be revised to make Philo older so that he could be believable as a Clint Eastwood character. When Clint asked how much older, Kronsberg replied, “About thirty-five.”

*Every Which Way but Loose earned more than $200 million in its first year of international release.
