That was kinda the point of Unforgiven, though. the characters weren't black and white. They were all shades of gray, unlike in most westerns. Clint held on to that script for about 20 years so that he could make it how he wanted.

I'm sure Clint would say: "Go ahead. Make my (birth)day". Big Grin

BTW, an anagram for Clint Eastwood is "old west action". I wonder if he knows this? :confused:
