Clint Eastwood plays a truck driver traveling with an orangutan companion, getting into all kinds of trouble in the wacky comedy “Every Which Way but Loose.” This surprise hit in theatrical release was a departure for Eastwood from his usual westerns and “Dirty Harry” pictures; he was advised against pursuing the project.
Clint’s co-stars included Sondra Locke, Geoffrey Lewis, Beverly D’Angelo, Dan Vadis, and Ruth Gordon as his mother. There were uncredited appearances by Harry Guardino, Mel Tillis, and Phil Everly. Manis starred as Clyde the orangutan.
The watchable “Every Which Way but Loose” from Warner Bros. spawned a sequel released two years later.
