This extended excerpt is from the BBC Film 80 programme hosted by the late Barr Norman. This episode turned out to be a double treat for Eastwood fans – featuring a review on the latest Eastwood movie, Escape… ## [Tightrope: It was 42 Years ago this week](https://theclinteastwoodarchive.blogspot.com/2026/08/tightrope-it-was-42-years-ago-this-week.html) _2026-08-18 · Unknown · The Clint Eastwood Archive_ Tightrope: It was 42 Years ago this week I was somewhat surprised when our friend Olly Peden dropped me one of his regular updates in regards to Tightrope’s release – which was (rather shockingly) 42 years ago this week. I remember seeing this like it was yesterday, and the waiting outside my local ABC cinema. Actually, it was a rather good period for Clint movies, in the February of 1984 UK… ## [1972 Publicity or the ‘stripy pants’ photo session](https://theclinteastwoodarchive.blogspot.com/2026/08/1972-publicity-or-stripy-pants-photo.html) _2026-08-08 · Unknown · The Clint Eastwood Archive_ 1972 Publicity or the ‘stripy pants’ photo session Here’s a great collection of publicity stills of Clint taken in 1972. For obvious reasons they are often referred to as the ‘stripy pants’ sessions. It does make me smile, an indication of the fashion of the day and what you could or could not get away with. Clint saves the day here by also sporting a classic red Lacoste polo shirt. Taken in 1972.… ## [Photo Opportunity #76: On Location Where Eagles Dare](https://theclinteastwoodarchive.blogspot.com/2026/08/photo-opportunity-76-on-location-where.html) _2026-08-01 · Unknown · The Clint Eastwood Archive_ Photo Opportunity #76: On Location Where Eagles Dare The first of the month reminds me that we have just hit August. I thought I’d scan and post this lovely shot from my own collection – a photo free of any AI interference. It captures Clint and Richard Burton in between shots while on location shooting Where Eagles Dare. It was an ideal chance for some press photographers to capture the 2 stars… ## [Clint and a couple of Friends: At the Directors Guild of America Awards on March 12, 1971.](https://theclinteastwoodarchive.blogspot.com/2026/07/clint-and-couple-of-friends-at.html) _2026-07-25 · Unknown · The Clint Eastwood Archive_ Clint and a couple of Friends: At the Directors Guild of America Awards on March 12, 1971 Here’s a great 10” x 8” still I thought I’d pull and scan from my own collection. It’s a rare shot of Clint in attendance at the Directors Guild of America Awards on March 12, 1971. The ceremony took place at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, and was hosted by Hal Kanter. This great still… ## [Rawhide: The Rare Japanese Laserdisc Box Sets](https://theclinteastwoodarchive.blogspot.com/2026/07/rawhide-rare-japanese-laserdisc-box-sets.html) _2026-07-19 · Unknown · The Clint Eastwood Archive_ Rawhide: The Rare Japanese Laserdisc sets Long before the Blu-ray format and even before the DVD format, if you wanted quality over your standard VHS or Betamax tape – you really had to go down the Laserdisc route. Firstly, a brief hstory: LaserDisc (LD) is a home video format and the first commercial optical disc storage medium. It was developed by Philips, Pioneer, and the movie studio MCA. The… ## [Rare Rawhide Candid from 1964](https://theclinteastwoodarchive.blogspot.com/2026/07/rare-rawhide-candid-from-1964.html) _2026-07-19 · Unknown · The Clint Eastwood Archive_ Rare Rawhide Candid from 1964 I stumbled across this wonderful photo on the web some time ago and stuck it in a folder for good keeping. I pulled it last week and began restoring it removing spots and blemishes, improving the colour balance and was really pleased with the results, pleased enough to post it here anyway. The picture captures Clint, Paul Brinegar (Wishbone) (1917-1995) and one of the… ## [Harry’s 44 Magnum: Final Hammer Price](https://theclinteastwoodarchive.blogspot.com/2026/07/harrys-44-magnum-final-hammer-price.html) _2026-07-18 · Unknown · The Clint Eastwood Archive_ Harry’s 44 Magnum: Final Hammer Price As promised, I am just reporting back on the final Hammer price for this extraordinary piece of memorabilia. It was on July 16th, 2026 that the Hammer came down on Clint’s .44 Magnum calibre revolver with a 6.5" barrel – and finished at a whopping $206, 250.00! We of course have no idea where the gun finally ended up – but I can tell you it wasn’t with me!… ## [Newman & Eastwood: The Summer of ‘69](https://theclinteastwoodarchive.blogspot.com/2026/07/newman-eastwood-summer-of-69.html) _2026-07-11 · Unknown · The Clint Eastwood Archive_ Newman & Eastwood: The Summer of ‘69 I stumbled (purely by accident) across this little ad the other day, from a Universal pairing during the Summer of 1969. Starring Paul Newman and Clint on the same bill, I certainly would have paid a couple of bucks to catch this one. Again, it’s another strange pairing, which served very little purpose other than to promote two of Universal’s superstars.… ## [Brisk AI News Briefings (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/HZQ6GfWPZNT3) _2026-07-11 · **Sponsored**_ Read AI summaries and listen to audio briefings for top stories. ## [Eastwood and Brando Together in One Show!](https://theclinteastwoodarchive.blogspot.com/2026/07/eastwood-and-brando-together-in-one-show.html) _2026-07-09 · Unknown · The Clint Eastwood Archive_ Eastwood and Brando Together in One Show! Yes, blink and you may well have missed this double-feature which showcased Eastwood and Brando. There really wasn’t too much of a theme connecting these two movies, other than they were both Universal pictures. The Night of the following Day (1969) was co-produced by Elliott Kastner and Jerry Gershwin, both of whom would collaborate to produce Where…
