40 Years Ago: Clint Eastwood Makes a Second Orangutan Road Comedy
Any Which Way You Can holds up four decades after its release.
Is it a great movie? No. But it manages to have fun, move quickly and never take itself too seriously, which is a plus in any comedy and particularly one that revolves around an orangutan.
Eastwood reprises his role as Philo Beddoe, one of the more interesting characters in the action-comedy genre: He s a champion bare-knuckle fighter who loves pain but isn t all that interested in winning, works as a mechanic and lives with his mom Zenobia (Ruth Gordon) and brother Orville (Geoffrey Lewis), and has as a best friend in the aforementioned orangutan, named Clyde.
