Clint Eastwood said that his orangutan co-star in EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE ('78) was "one of the most natural actors I ever worked with! But you had to get him on the first take because his boredom level was very limited." The film was panned by critics upon its initial release but went on to become one of the highest-grossing films of all time, spawning the sequel ANY WHICH WAY YOU CAN ('80). #SummerUnderTheStars | Turner Classic Movies: TCM
