Dirty Harry (1971)

Dirty Harry (1971)

Clint Eastwood’s (police) Inspector Harry Callahan was voted the American Film Institute’s #17 Hero and for good reason: tired of his department’s bureaucracy in dealing with violent criminals he becomes a vigilante of sorts with a (Smith & Wesson) .357 magnum revolver. His boss Police Lieutenant Bressler (played by Harry Guardino) while not happy is more tolerant of Callahan’s methods than his chief (John Larch) or the mayor (John Vernon) is. Reni Santoni plays the inspector’s partner Chico Gonzalez. Andy Robinson plays the baddie dubbed the ‘Scorpio Killer’ who has a penchant for raping and murdering kids. Eastwood repeated the role in four sequels. The film is #41 on AFI’s Most Heart-Pounding Movies list and Callahan’s classic line – spoken first to Robinson’s character in this one – “You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’ Well do ya punk?” is #51 on AFI’s 100 Greatest Movie Quotes list. This essential crime action thriller was directed by Don Siegel who collaborated with actor Eastwood on four other movies; the screenplay was written by Harry Julian Fink his wife Rita M. and Dean Riesner (from a story by the Finks). Added to the National Film Registry in 2012.
