Geoffrey Lewis

Geoffrey Macnab introduces Geoffrey Lewis as a craggy veteran of many Clint Eastwood Westerns and takes the older partner's part that falls to him in The Way of the Gun as the return on that past, tying the choice to the film's opposition of generations. A second piece of information sits inside the same parenthesis, and it is this record's real fact: Lewis is the father of Juliette Lewis, who plays the surrogate mother Robin in that film. Father and daughter are in one film in separate parts, then, and the relation reaches us as a single subordinate clause wedged into an actor's introduction, which is exactly where this record holds it.
