That should be interesting. I've always had a soft spot for Warner Bros. they've put out some amazing films over the years.

Eastwood is also mentioned in a documentary I caught this weekend on "Starz" or some such channel, called "Fog City Mavericks" - George Lucas, Francis Coppola, Clint Eastwood, etc.

Highly recommend it.

Why yes, Netflix does have it.

I just realized that sister Dot gets her name from the period which abbreviates "Warner Bros." My mind is blowns.

Thanks for posting this. I love this kind of stuff and would likely have missed it otherwise.
