If we could have believed for a moment in the swan song, when the sacred monster Clint Eastwood directed his new feature film Cry Macho in 2021, when he had just celebrated his ninetieth birthday, it was a misunderstanding the strength and longevity of the gentleman.
Indeed, it is now ninety-four years old that Clint Eastwood will honor the public with a fortieth feature film behind the camera, with the release expected this year of his possible last film, Juror No. 2.
This evening, the Arte channel will honor one of the latest Hollywood legends, with the broadcast of a documentary preceded by the film A Perfect World, of which here are some filming secrets, before our quiz on details of posters from his filmography, to be recognized.

Filmographic wink
When the characters of Butch Haynes and young Philip go to the store, we can see an advertisement for Bull Durham cigarettes at the entrance. It is also the original title of Duo à trois (1988, Ron Shelton) starring Kevin Costner.

The look of bad days for Clint after this modest score…
You almost hit (everything) right!
9/9, right on target!
Kennedy’s shadow
The action of the film takes place in 1963 in Texas during the Halloween holidays, a few weeks before the assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas. The film thus echoes the role of prosecutor Garrison played by Kevin Costner in 1991 in Oliver Stone’s JFK and Clint Eastwood’s previous film (In the Line of Fire by Wolfgang Petersen, 1993) in which he played a haunted bodyguard by its failure on November 22, 1963.
