Packet 9: Tossup 1

A swindler who sells “elixir” watches this character sever a rope used to ferry a barge across a river. The director (15[1])of the film titled for this character wasn’t aware that “Forrest Carter,” the source novel’s author, was secretly a Klansman (15[1])who wrote segregationist speeches for George Wallace. This character’s best-known line is “dyin’ (15[1])ain’t much of a livin’, boy.” The DGA (15[1])added a rule against crew members (15[1])firing directors and replacing them after the actor who played this character fired Philip (*) Kaufman, (10[1])partially over their mutual attraction to Sondra Locke. This character spits tobacco in nearly all of his scenes, such as before making a blood pact with the Comanche chief Ten Bears. (10[2])Chief Dan George plays an (10[1])old Cherokee man who helps this Missourian evade bounty hunters after the Civil War. For 10 points, a 1976 Western stars Clint Eastwood (10[1])as what outlaw? ■END■ (10[5]0[2])
