Synopsis: Dirty Harry (1971)
Synopis: A tremendously controversial film, both decried as an apologia for fascism and hailed as the solution to a decade of rising crime, DIRTY HARRY propelled Clint Eastwood's career into the stratosphere while adding another archetype to join his Man with No Name in film iconography. Clint stars as Harry Callahan, a truculent San Francisco police detective well known for his vicious take-no-prisoners attitude toward criminals. With the city of San Francisco being terrorized by the psychotic killer known only as Scorpio (Andrew Robinson), Harry is assigned by the mayor (John Vernon) and Lt. Bressler (Harry Guardino) to try to stop him, pairing him with reluctantly accepted new partner Chico (Reni Santoni). Scorpio kidnaps a 14-year-old girl and buries her alive, demanding a $200,000 ransom for her return. Harry is to bring him the money--alone. What follows is one of the most exciting ransom deliveries in film history. The prototype for most of the action films through the rest of the century, DIRTY HARRY rises far above most of them due mostly to an excellent script and Eastwood's gripping acting. That said, the main character's contemptuous attitude toward the Miranda law seems far more damning now that it did in the early 1970s.Features: Dirty Harry (1971)

A Legendary Eastwood Film.
, June 27, 2003This movie really puts Eastwood in as a Household name. I never met anybody that didnt like this one. With .44 Magnum Justice, Clint takes on a red hot sniper named Scorpio - Theres nothing finer. Shoot em up Clint! Shoot for this movie for your DVD collection as well, I sure did! -
Don and Clint making a film like this, y
, July 13, 2002Don Siegel is one of the best directors there
is and Clint Eastwood is one of the best actors
(and directors) there is. And these guys are
together on a film where a psychopathic killer
stalks people and one brutal cop is here to
nail him.
Still I don't recommend to people who don't
like to see men "jellying up the sidewalk"
(from Hudsucker Proxy). This film makes you
feel bad.
Actually the stadium scene makes you feel good,
though it's bloody. It doesn't make you sick
becuase you know that Harry is doing something
you'd like to do: Torture the punk! ...
