Produced by Rodney Lee Conover and narrated by George Flowers, with author Marc Eliot serving as guest host, the documentary spans seven decades of Eastwood’s work in entertainment, showing the consequences of his acting and directing on filmmaking.

From Rowdy Yates in “Rawhide” to the top of the Hollywood ladder, the film highlights how the young Eastwood went from television actor in 1960s westerns to international film star and Oscar-winning director.

Included is how he redefined Sergio Leone’s spaghetti westerns and later changed the genre with his film “Unforgiven.”

“Eastwood didn’t just appear in important films, he shaped genres,” Conover said. “This doc looks at how he did it, film by film, without mythology or nostalgia. He’s the cold stare Hollywood lost the guts to keep.”

In essence, Eastwood’s story is portrayed as the embodiment of American grit. Carved in granite and wrapped in silence, “American Legend: The Clint Eastwood Story” emphasizes how few names in the history of cinema rival this iconic and legendary star who has lived his life on his own terms, both on-screen and off.

I watched some of it.  It was OK.

I didn't know he had a couple kids who weren't with his wife.  Naughty.

Unfortunately it was just ok and it cut off like the latest portion of his career. I guess with a career as long as his this could have been a 2 hour or at least a 90 minute program.

I had similar thoughts.  Would have liked to seen more of his movies and stories about things that happened while they were in the process of making those movies.

I dint realize he had so many kids and until just recently.

I also forgot he’s a real music buff and has written music for his movies.

The man certainly covered a lot of ground in his career.
