In the first and best of a cycle of seventies vigilante films that critic Pauline Kael dubbed “a stunningly well-made genre piece,” Eastwood plays a driven San Francisco cop who flaunts the law in his pursuit of “Scorpio,” a crazed serial sniper. Eastwood’s terse, righteous Harry became an iconic character that spawned five sequels. “Raymond Chandler’s famous description of his private eye applies to Harry Callahan as well as it did to Philip Marlowe: ‘He is neither tarnished nor afraid… He is a relatively poor man or he would not be a detective at all. He is a common man or he could not go among common people. He has a sense of character or he would not know his job… He will take no man’s insolence without due and dispassionate revenge. He is a lonely man.’”—Richard Schickel, Clint Eastwood.
