John Landis on

The Beguiled

Released 1971
Distributor Universal

Don Siegel and Clint Eastwood used their combined boxoffice clout to get Universal to make this arty, Ambrose Bierce-like civil war gothic melodrama full of not-so-repressed psychosexuality. This trailer sells it like a Gone with the Wind soap opera. It flopped, but it’s a unique and creepy movie.
