DIRTY HARRY (1971)

Vintage original 11 x 14″ (28 x 35 cm.) lobby card no. 6, USA. Clint Eastwood, Andrew Robinson, John Vernon, Reni Santoni, Harry Guardino, dir: Don Siegel; Warner Brothers. The now classic crime thriller about San Francisco Police Inspector Harry Callahan, who has little regard for rules but gets results. In this tale he is tracking down serial killer Scorpio, who snipes his victims at random. Clint Eastwood, in his iconic role of the paradoxical Dirty Harry (basically an outlaw but deeply moral at the same time), only won the role because the originally-cast Frank Sinatra injured his hand so badly years before that he could not handle the large handgun. Marlon Brando, Steve McQueen and Paul Newman were considered before Eastwood. FINE.
