The Beguiled is a Freudian mood piece from the team of actor
Clint Eastwood and director
Don Siegel.
Eastwood plays
Corp. John McBurney, a wounded Union soldier during the Civil War, who takes refuge in a prim-and-proper Southern girl's school run by
Martha Farnsworth (
Geraldine Page). Chauvinistic, insensitive and conceited,
McBurney takes full advantage of the women by bedding each successively -- and then learns the true meaning of "a woman scorned."
