More Daddy's Girls

It's Argentos v. Eastwoods in the shootout at the Toronto Film Festival Corral.

The center of Canadian filmdom this week features father-daughter combos as the third of Dario Argento's horror trilogy, "Mother of Tears" will premiere in competition along with the feature directorial debut of "Rails and Ties" by Alison Eastwood. As for the parent-child connections: Argento's work features (sometime director) daughter Asia as Roman art student Sarah Mandy and there just isn't any way for Clint Eastwood's daughter not to be his daughter when acting or directing.

As Eastwood says, "...Everything I've done as an actor, as a kid growing up on movie sets, watching my dad, it's all brought me to where I am right now. ...But yeah, it's tough, being the daughter of someone who's so successful, so revered ...."

** Would this be following in the eye, not feet, of the father? **
