some of his major films, but also. of American values over a
forty-year period." -Anne Lancashire, University of Toronto

growing critical acknowledgment of Eastwood's importance in
American filmmaking since 1960: both as a reflection of American
social and cinematic values and as an ambiguous commentator on
them." - Anne Lancashire, University of Toronto Quarterly, Wwinter
2001/2002, Letters in Canada, vol 71:1
