"The Outlaw Josey Wales" is a story loosely based on several actual events at the end of the War Between the States in the border state region. This is pure Clint! This version is in the North American DVD Format and was issued in 1999. An intersting bit of trivia: In Germany, this movie is titled "Der Texaner", which is completely confusing. It's also rated as restricted to those over 16. My specific interest in this is due to my gggrandmother's brother (Bob Lee) who is mentioned in this movie and was noted in history as the last Confederate hold-out in Texas, which caused the American Civil war to continue until 1866 in Texas ("...except in Texas...") -- over 1 year after the rest of the CSA had surrendered.
To say what I love about this movie would take up to much time and space.The Outlaw Josey Wales is the greatest Western of all time. It would be much easier to say what I don't like about it. Namely Sondra Locke, cast only because Clint was "dating" her at the time, she just didn't fit in this movie. She wasn't terrible. But her performance just didn't hold up to the others in the cast.
This is my husband's all time favorite movie. I bought it for him for Christmas. He'll be thrilled to death and I won't have to pay rental over and over on the movie from Blockbuster!
