    H3200 HEARTBREAK RIDGE (USA, 1986) (Other titles: Gunny; Le maitre de guerre) Credits: director, Clint Eastwood ; writer, James Carabatsos. Cast: Clint Eastwood, Martha Mason, Everett McGill, Moses Gunn. Summary: War melodrama set in 1983 in the U.S. and Grenada. There are no more wars to fight, but Gunnery Sergeant Tom Highway (Eastwood) still has a lot of fight left in him. He is on his last tour of duty before retirement, a battle- scarred veteran of Korea (Medal of Honor winner) and Vietnam going nose- to-nose with irreverent recruits and eyeball-to-eyeball with incompetent officers. He is also a closet romantic hoping to rekindle a relationship with his ex-wife (Mason). He is tested one final time as he leads his recon platoon in the 1983 U.S. invasion of Grenada.

S ondra Locke was an actor, producer, director and talented singer. But it was her destiny to be linked forever with Clint Eastwood, whose partner she was from the mid-1970s to the late 1980s. She was a sexy, charismatic performer with a tough, lean look who starred alongside Eastwood in hit movies like The Outlaw Josey Wales, The Gauntlet, Every Which Way But Loose (in which she sang her own songs — also for the sequel Any Which Way You Can) and Bronco Billy. But the pair became trapped in one of the most notoriously toxic relationships in Hollywood history, an ugly, messy and abusive overlap of the personal and professional — a case of love gone sour and mentorship gone terribly wrong.
