Classic Eastwood -- what's not to like?

It's simply not possible to diss an Eastwood movie. His body of work is among the most consistent and compelling in cinema history. In his eventual death, he will be celebrated as a legendary figure along with such greats as Paul Newman. And no one, but no one, will ever forget Dirty Harry. Even a former President (Reagan) was quoted using a Dirty Harry line ("Make my day.")
But Eastwood's character in Coogan's Bluff stands tall as well, and eventually inspired another memorable character for TV, Dennis Weaver's McCLOUD. The storyline has all of the action and conflict you'd expect from an Eastwood film, but keep in mind that this is a 60's period piece complete with drug cliches and some of the pacing mirrors the directorial patterns of the day.
For an Eastwood fan, it is a must see, and I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone who hasn't seen it. Young, developing and devilishly handsome, this is early Eastwood at his best. You can see in his eyes the greatness yet to come, before Harry Callahan was a glint in anyone's eye. A worthy addition to any Eastwood collection.
