DIRTY HARRY (1971). The best Clint Eastwood has ever been, as the gritty Homicide Detective, who won't hesitate to bend or break the rules if necessary. The film was dubbed "Facist" by Pauline Kael of THE NEW YORK TIMES,more than likely for Harry's determined search for Scorpio , which culminates in Kezar Stadium-a thrilling moment.
Deservedly, Eastwood became a big Star after this and appeared in several sequels, becoming a part of Americana. Kudos must also be given to Andrew Robinson (later in HELLRAISER) playing an absolutely despicable villain and in his film debut also. Have heard that for many years after this, He received threats from people who couldn't separate actor from character. ****1/2
