What happens

Two Mules for Sister Sara is a 1970 Western film directed by Don Siegel and starring Shirley MacLaine and Clint Eastwood. Set during the second French intervention in Mexico (1861–67), the plot follows an American mercenary who gets mixed up with a nun and aids a group of Juarista rebels during the puppet reign of Emperor Maximilian in Mexico. The film was to have been the first in a five-year exclusive association between Universal Pictures and Sanen Productions of Mexico. The film featured both American and Mexican actors and actresses, including being filmed in the picturesque countryside near Tlayacapan, Morelos. Two Mules for Sister Sara was the second of five collaborations between Siegel and Eastwood, following Coogan's Bluff (1968). Released in the United States by Universal Pictures on May 28, 1970, Two Mules for Sister Sara was a moderate financial success and received a warm critical reception. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
