Why Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds' City Heat Flopped at the Box Office
Despite being friends off-screen, Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds failed to click on-screen in City Heat.
The friendship between Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds began in 1959, when the pair, both of whom were Universal Pictures contract players, were simultaneously fired by Universal. As Reynolds fondly recounted throughout the rest of his career, he was fired because of his acting, while Eastwood was let go because Universal objected to his chipped tooth and large Adam’s apple.
