in 1970, eastwood starred with shirley maclaine in the western "two mules for sister sara", directed by don siegel. the film follows an american mercenary, who gets mixed up with a prostitute disguised as a nun, and ends up helping a group of juarista rebels during the reign of emperor maximilian i of mexico. eastwood once again played a mysterious strangerunshaven, wearing a serape-like vest, and smoking a cigar. although it received moderate reviews, the film is listed in "the new york times guide to the best 1,000 movies ever made". later the same year, eastwood starred as one of a group of americans who steal a fortune in gold from the nazis, in the world war ii film "kelly's heroes", with donald sutherland and telly savalas. "kelly's heroes" was the last film eastwood appeared in that was not produced by his own malpaso productions. filming commenced in july 1969 on location in yugoslavia and in london. the film received mostly a positive reception and its anti-war sentiments were recognized. in the winter of 1969–70, eastwood and siegel began planning his next film, "the beguiled", a tale of a wounded union soldier, held captive by the sexually repressed matron (played by geraldine page) of a southern girls' school. upon release the film received major recognition in france and is considered one of eastwood's finest works by the french. however, it grossed less than $1 million and, according to eastwood and lang, flopped due to poor publicity and the "emasculated" role of eastwood.

in 1980, eastwood directed and played the title role in "bronco billy" alongside locke, scatman crothers, and sam bottoms. eastwood has cited "bronco billy" as being one of the most relaxed shoots of his career and biographer richard schickel has argued that bronco billy is eastwood's most self-referential character. the film was a rare commercial disappointment in eastwood's career, but was liked by critics. janet maslin of "the new york times" wrote that film was "...the best and funniest clint eastwood movie in quite a while", and praised eastwood's directing, intricately juxtaposing the old west and the new west. later that year, eastwood starred in "any which way you can", the sequel to "every which way but loose". the film received a number of bad reviews from critics, although maslin described it as "funnier and even better than its predecessor". released over the christmas season of 1980, "any which way you can" was a major box office success and ranked among the top five highest-grossing films of the year.
