A darkly satirical &#8220;anti-western&#8221;, <em>High Plains Drifter<\/em> spares no effort in exposing the cravenness of an &#8220;entire population [who] did nothing while three bad men killed their marshal&#8221;; it boldly posits that these cowards deserve the descent of Eastwood&#8217;s nameless stranger (&#8220;a ruthless, avenging angel dosing out retribution for a wrathful god&#8221;) onto their town, which turns into a literal hell on Earth. As in Roger Corman&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=6426\"><em>The Haunted Palace<\/em> (1963)<\/a>, the moral of the story here is that a town&#8217;s collective actions against truth and justice will inevitably return to haunt them. Note that the opening scene &#8212; in which Eastwood brutally &#8220;rapes one woman&#8221; (Marianna Hill) &#8212; remains difficult to stomach, despite one&#8217;s eventual understanding that Eastwood&#8217;s actions should be read on a metaphorical level. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Billy Curtis as Mordechai the Midget<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/High-Plains-Drifter-Curtis.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/High-Plains-Drifter-Curtis-1024x496.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"310\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-46974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/High-Plains-Drifter-Curtis-1024x496.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/High-Plains-Drifter-Curtis-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/High-Plains-Drifter-Curtis-128x62.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/High-Plains-Drifter-Curtis-768x372.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/High-Plains-Drifter-Curtis-1536x744.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/High-Plains-Drifter-Curtis.png 1741w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Geoffrey Lewis as Stacey Bridges<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/High-Plains-Drifter-Lewis.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/High-Plains-Drifter-Lewis-1024x509.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"318\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-46976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/High-Plains-Drifter-Lewis-1024x509.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/High-Plains-Drifter-Lewis-300x149.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/High-Plains-Drifter-Lewis-128x64.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/High-Plains-Drifter-Lewis-768x382.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/High-Plains-Drifter-Lewis-1536x764.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/High-Plains-Drifter-Lewis.png 1739w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Bruce Surtees&#8217;
