the beguiled might have been siegel's best film, but he really deluded himself if he thought the beguiled would have swept all the big film award ceremonies and made 10 million dollars etc. if it had gotten a wider release. similar to william friedkin telling himself that sorcerer would have been a big hit if not for star wars. great movies are not always meant to be successful.
Agreed. Unfortunately the best films are always passed over by critics ans audiences alike in favour of unoriginal, uninspired mass crowd pleasing fantasy shit where the heroes are white and male, women are reduced to one dimensional pretty looking baggage and the endings are trite and predictable.
DANK U WEL! Thanks so much for uploading your film! I wanted to see it for almost 30 years :). By coincidence I am recording an audio-commentary for a Siegel Film tonight (and years ago I made a 2-hour documentary about his protege, Sam Peckinpah. It is called SAM PECKINPAH - THE BALLAD OF SAM PECKINPAH). I loved your film... The first time I saw "so much" of Don... Danke! Mike Siegel
Thanks so much for posting. I'm a big fan of Madigan, The Shootist, Flaming Star, Body Snatchers & more. I read his book, but have never seen a documentary on him.
Bedankt voor de moeite om dit op youtube te plaatsen. Op deze manier krijg ik ook 'ns een indruk van de man achter 'Dirty Harry', 'Invasion of the body snatchers' en 'The line-up', een regisseur die ik pas de laatste jaren werkelijk apprecieer.
This man has directed CHARLES BRONSON-CLINT EASTWOOD-BURT REYNOLDS-MICHAEL CAINE and of course THE DUKE ..RIP Mr Siegel and bless you for DIRTY HARRY

Upload it
Don Siegels 1958 Movie, The Lineup, has so many elements used in Dirty Harry that he and Clint must of used The Lineup as a template for Dirty Harry.
“The Beguiled” is one of the most unique and underappreciated movies of all time.
I've got an original poster from
Charley Varrick. Great movie.
Love Don Siegel films, my favorites are Hell is For Heroes, The Killers, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Dirty Harry!
🎬 The Old Independent School: An excellent portrait of a top master director. 👌🏻👌🏽👌
Great documentary. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot for this. I love Don Siegel !
good documentary

Don's magnum opus is The Killers.
One of the best directors out of the 50s
