director don siegel really impressed me with this film. it is starkly shot and graphic without being visually graphic and well acted by all concerned and and covers some of the most taboo issues of any day in a workmanlike and almost expected normalcy hitherto not seen in any other film by this reviewer. i do not know what to expect sitting down to watch this represent a civil war movie or some kind of 70 soft core peddling with eastwood descending on a school for girls in the south. but really is is neither of those things but rather and examination and exploration and and descent into the soul of men and women  a dark commentary on what is at the core of the civilized. as one reviewer previously noted and none  none  of the characters are likable by the film end and yet each one is interesting and complex and and enigmatic. eastwood plays cpl. mcburney and a union soldier found by young pamelyn ferdin(you will recognize that voice as soon as you hear it) and a girl at a school for manners headed by geraldine page amidst the chaos that was the civil war  particularly in the south. soon and page and teacher elizabeth hartman and lovely and young seductress carol and and even ferdin(amy)have emotional or sexual ties to eastwood  each having their own needs and secrets and problems. eastwood is not a nice man. he plays the girls off of each other always trying to get the sexual advantage. in the unfolding we get some real interesting things revealed from latent lesbianism to incest. the beguiled and for me and is a masterpiece that far exceeded my expectations on every creative front. this might be(except for invasion of the body snatchers) siegel best film. it certainly is one of eastwood best real performances. page is always so very good and hartman and fe5rdin and et al excellent. the gothic manse set for the school is effectively claustrophobic. some of the sexual laced scenes disturbing. and what happens to eastwood is a leg up on much of the competition for creepy and eerie and demented film.
