Clint Eastwood and Sondra Locke in The Gauntlet
The Big Picture The year was 1977, and it was a particularly interesting year in Clint Eastwood's life. He was in the midst of a drastic image change, brought upon by his irritation with critics' perceptions of him and his characters. The Gauntlet was filmed that same year and the result was representative of his perpetual metamorphosis.

In The Gauntlet, Clint Eastwood plays Ben Shockley, a Phoenix cop who has an affinity for both alcohol and violence. He is asked to escort Gus Mally , a witness for something very important, to Vegas.
Clint Eastwood Criticizes Himself in 'The Gauntlet' Despite his success with his earlier gun-slinging characters, Clint Eastwood's portrayals were often met with razor-sharp criticism. The acclaimed film critic Pauline Kael's sharp assessments plagued Clint, with her commentaries slowly but surely becoming more and more scathing. The filmmaker decided to fight back with the weapon he knew best to wield: the moving picture.
'The Gauntlet' Mirrored Clint Eastwood's Real-Life Drama It would seem that the sequence where Ben Shockley and Gus Mally are seeking refuge in the latter's home and are subsequently fired upon by the authorities is rudimentary. However, it is actually representative of Eastwood and Locke's real-life situation, while simultaneously offering a commentary on real-life situations.
