Coogan's Bluff

[GeorgeO]

I got the chance to watch in SD a movie that I first saw over 40 years ago-Clint Eastwood in a movie, called Coogan's Bluff directed by Donald Siegel, who also directed him in Dirty Harry.Music was by Lalo Schifrin. He plays the part of a laconic hick deputy sheriff from Arizona who lands in the Big Apple to take back a fugitive who has jumped custody.

Though a bit dated, it was different from the spaghetti Westerns and had violence and action, including a motorbike chase. The blood and gore looks very artificial, though, and being an old movie the video was not too great.

A 90 minute entertainer, though, and for me a walk down memory lane!

George,

Coogan's Bluff is a classic from 1968!
One of the early movies that pioneered the gritty Clint Eastwood characters.

Thanks for the recommendation. Must watch it again.

Regards.
