Having recently driven in San Francisco traffic I always marvel at the relative paucity of vehicles in S.F. movies made in the sixties and seventies. The first Dirty Harry movie was directed by Eastwood mentor Don Siegel and is arguably the best of the five Eastwood eventually made. The character is fully developed and the story is engrossing.. The music is by Lalo Shiffrin, who also did the other famous San Francisoc cop flick, "Bullitt". The actor who plays the villain explains on the documentary that he was chosen because Siegel thought he looked like a choir boy. Very entertaining.
