426 Dirty Harry (1971)
- The title role was originally intended for 'Frank Sinatra' (qv). After he
refused, it was offered to 'John Wayne' (qv), and then 'Paul Newman' (qv),
finally being accepted by 'Clint Eastwood' (qv).
- After Harry has foiled the bank robbery at the beginning of the film, he
strides over to the one surviving robber. In doing so, he walks in front of
a theatre which is showing "Play Misty for Me (1971)" (qv), which
Eastwood directed and starred in.
- When Callahan (Eastwood) is being run all over town by Scorpio, he passes
a wall which bears the graffiti ``Kyle'', the name of Eastwood's son.
- The final scene where Harry throws his badge in the river is a homage to a
similar scene from "High Noon (1952)" (qv).
- 'Andrew Robinson' (qv) (Scorpio) had to get an unlisted phone number, and has
received a death threat.
- DIRCAMEO(Don Siegel): man running down the street.
