Clint Eastwood will turn you Every Which Way But Loose

Overview

Philo Beddoe is your regular, easygoing, truck-driving guy. He's also the best bar-room brawler west of the Rockies. And he lives with a 165-pound orangutan named Clyde. Like other guys, Philo finally falls in love - with a flighty singer who leads him on a screwball chase across the American Southwest. Nothing's in the way except a motorcycle gang, some cops, and legendary brawler Tank Murdock.

    I think he's spending too much time with Clyde. Every Which Way But Loose is directed by James Fargo and written by Jeremy Joe Kronsberg.
