'Paul Smith's work here is impressive; no one can write on
 Eastwood now without referring to it, but the book will also influence
 how we think about masculinity in film, the western, and the
 cinematic apparatus in general.'

	--Clint Burnham, review in Border/Lines, Canada




'Paul Smith's superb analysis illuminates the Eastwood persona in all
 its stunning complexity....and moves across the different registers of
 Eastwood's career with great skill. whether you are an Eastwood fan,
 a student of mass culture, or both, Smith's provocative study will be
 of enormous interest.'

	--Judith Mayne, Ohio State University
