From 5 to 4 not mentioned, this is the worst failure in Clint Eastwood cash registers

In 1973 Clint Eastwood was the king of Dur-Kuir Cinema! He continues to the Westerners and hit the inspector two years ago with Harry. This year he has received two feature films: The Man of the High Plains, tough, violent and uncompromising Western and Breeze, the film with which he will lose part of the audience.

Bitter failure!

BREZY (plays Kay Lens), this is a young 20 -year -old hippie who meets Frank Harmon (William Holden), 55, a rich man, divorced and without attachment. A vague acquaintance is born with an unexpected love that is not everyone’s taste.

BREZY was released on November 16, 1973 in Los Angeles and November 18 in New York, but was shaken by a part of the criticism that simply considers it “May-December”, that is, a disproportionate age gap (54 years for Holden, 19 Lenz). Another part of the press also emphasizes the courage of Eastwood to publish a movie about the film, on a topic that no one expected at this time.

Whatever you think, the film is a bit of a cashier failure that brings about $ 200,000 in the United States, absolutely no budget for $ 750,000. Disappointed and dissatisfied with this bad result, Clint Eastwood accused two decisions that were exit.

Eastwood decided to make a movie for young people, thinking about his stupidity with The Times, but because of the scenes of the woman’s naked scenes, the American Movement Association is playing the movie “R”, which means that juveniles under the age of 17 do not see the film. In addition, the filmmaker criticizes his distributor (universal) in order not to perform his work (through Focus on the movie:): “The public avoided the film because it didn’t have enough ad and sold it as absolutely attractive.”

The result: In this failure and partially responsible, the universal, Eastwood leaves the following films in Warner, which will become and generally remain in his heart, which will leave him for decades. Evil for good!
