In a signature role, Clint Eastwood plays a streetwise San Francisco police detective who gets the job done. A rooftop sniper (Andy Robinson) named Scorpio has killed twice.
Harry Callahan will nail the perp, one way or the other, no matter what “the system” prescribes. Filming on location, director Don Siegel made the City by the Bay a vital part of one of the best police thrillers ever made. –Cannes Film Festival
