Rare Clint Eastwood segment from Italian art house movie, The Witches (1966), episode: "An Evening Like The Others", directed by Vittorio De Sica. (Part 1 of 2).
BACKGROUND:
One of Eastwood's most bizarre films, "The Witches" was basically a showcase for producer Dino De Laurentiis's wife, Silvana Mangano, who, having been absent from the screen for several years, had hoped to make a striking comeback in this lavish fantasy filmed in Italy.
Clint plays the straight-laced husband of Magnano in the last of the five short stories that constitute the film. His episode, titled "An Evening Like The Others", was directed by Vittorio De Sica, who had earlier triumphed with neo-realist masterpieces like "The Bicycle Thief".
"The Witches", however, proved to be too offbeat to find an audience, and didn't even find an American distributor until the late-60s, when United Artists released it sporadically to a few art houses and then shelved it. It remains a real curio, with Eastwood trying light comedy as a mild-mannered banker forced to compete with comic-book characters for the love of his bored wife. He would never play such an 'unClint-like' role again!
