Ein viel zu wenig gewürdigtes Meisterwerk des Gespanns Siegel/Eastwood. Letzterer spielt einen Nordstaatler, der während des US-Bürgerkriegs im Feindesland Zuflucht in einem Mädchenpensionat findet. Das ist nur der Beginn einer wahnwitzigen ...read the complete Beguiled movie review at 25frames.org (Christoph Huber)

It is regrettable that this movie has been marginalised. The production design at Belle Helene in southeastern Louisiana is superb, the story evocative along psychoanalytic registers, and the performances commanding. Geraldine Page, Mae Mercer, and in ...

One of the greatest films by Don Siegel and a very good job by Clint Eastwood. ...
by Ron Braithwaite "... on March 24, 2009
Possibly my favorite of all Eastwood's movies. Interestingly, I've heard that this is the one and only Eastwood film that ever lost money. This may because Eastwood fans want to see him in control. In the 'Beguiled' his efforts to gain control of his ...

A wounded union soldier (living-legend Clint Eastwood) is taken in by a southern girl's academy during the civil war. The women and young girls decide to nurse him back to health before turning him in to the confederacy. Now, all Clint has to do is play ...

To be honest, I never heard of this movie nor knew about Clint Eastwood's role in it until I came across the DVD in my local library. Well, I took it home, and couldn't play it! So then, I search through Netflix, and of all the good luck, it was ...

Why is this movie never mentioned when people talk about Clint Eastwood movies? This movie is brilliant. I saw this a few years ago. It came on really late one night and i could'nt believe how good it was. The women in this movie are so scary. Guys want ...

by movie hound john on January 12, 2006
the beguiled is one of eastwood's and director don siegel's best pairings and the clostest thing clint ever did to a horror movie. i'll say nothing else about that but this civil war gothic thriller will leave you with a chill running up your back. as a ...
by BOYWAY on June 08, 2005
An excellently realised film focusing on the mysterious, erotically charged tension between men and women, particularly a houseful of multigenerational women who have not enjoyed the company of a man for some time. Set in a wonderfully isolated ...
by Billie Mann on December 31, 2004
"The Beguiled" is one of my favorite Clint Eastwood films, and a departure from his typical early roles. Directed by Don Siegel, with whom Eastwood collaborated on several films, it was made a year before Eastwood's directorial debut with "Play Misty For ...
