A wounded man lives in a boarding school for girls. It sounds like a very pleasant situation for a man. Not necessarily the Yankee Corporal Mac Burney will learn it the hard way.
This film may seem slow and soft by the lack of action and major events, but he'll be rich as a psychological drama.
With the backdrop of American Civil War, it looks at first, essential concepts such as patriotism against the human duty, slavery and freedom and then soak and sink, without the viewer being aware account, into the climate of the school, who, to protect the war is turning in on itself and lives in near self-sufficiency.
The temptation, love, jealousy, hatred, manipulation, patriotism, all this concept lead us to something strong, disturbing and unexpected. Like Corporal northerner McBurney, we are gradually drawn into the negative atmosphere and everything seems to shrink as trapped in the boarding school and its occupants.
A well-made film, with a team that is now well known and confirmed her talent, we just mentioned the most famous talents Eastwood, Don Siegel, Lalo Schifrin for music ... After 'Coogan' bluff and psychology more in-depth with "The Beguiled " we looking forward to the next movie of this team ..." Dirty Harry "...
A well done psychological drama and suspense, we can feel a very good Hitchcock spirit, or touch, that fully confirmed by the next film of Eastwood "Play misty for me".
