Dirty Harry (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Whether or not you can sympathize with its fascistic/vigilante approach to law enforcement, Dirty Harry (directed by star Clint Eastwood's longtime friend and directorial mentor, Don Siegel) is one hell of a cop thriller. The movie makes evocative use of its San Francisco locations as cop Harry Callahan (Eastwood) tracks the elusive "Scorpio killer" who has been terrorizing the city by the Bay. As the psychopath's trail grows hotter, Harry becomes increasingly impatient and intolerant of the frustrating obstacles (departmental red tape, individuals' civil rights) that he feels are keeping him from doing his job. A characteristically taut and tense piece of filmmaking from Siegel (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Shootist, Escape from Alcatraz), it also remains a fascinating slice of American pop culture. It was a big hit (followed by four sequels) that obviously reflected--or exploited--the almost obsessive or paranoid fears and frustrations many Americans felt about crime in the streets. At a time when "law and order" was a familiar slogan for political candidates, Harry Callahan may have represented neither, but from his point of view his job was simple: stop criminals. To him that end justified any means he deemed necessary. --Jim Emerson

The Complete Dirty Harry (Dirty Harry/Enforcer/Magnum Force/Dead Pool/Sudden Impact) [VHS]

Five--count 'em, five--chances to wallow in the shoot-first, ask-questions-later ethos of San Francisco cop Harry Callahan, who became a signature character for actor Clint Eastwood. The first one, Dirty Harry, is the best, a Don Siegel film in which Harry flouts rules about police brutality to capture a serial killer. In Magnum Force he tracks rogue cops and utters his "Do you feel lucky, punk?" speech. In The Enforcer he gets a female partner (future Cagney and Lacy star Tyne Daly). Sudden Impact featured him tracking a female serial killer and offered a new catch phrase: "Go ahead. Make my day." And The Dead Pool, aside from offering a smart little chase involving a radio-controlled model car, brought him face to face with Liam Neeson. You can't ask for much more firepower in one box than this. --Marshall Fine

Flush with popular successes that spanned film (the Oscar nominated score for Cool Hand Luke Bullitt ) and TV (the Grammy-winning Mission: Impossible, Mannix) Argentine-born composer Lalo Schifrin infused director Don Siegel's original, epochal Dirty Harry with one of the 70's most riveting, consistently original jazz-fusion scores. It was also one that, until now, was only available in mono-mixed snippets on obscure compilations; this release marks the full-score's first, three-decade-overdue release (remixed in stereo for the first time and including alternate takes). The 1971 score folds Schifrin's classical training and years as jazzman into a context that's undeniably charged by the contemporary electric excursions (Bitches Brew, A Tribute to Jack Johnson, Live at the Fillmore East) of Miles Davis. Its cues for renegade San Francisco detective Harry Callahan are variously driven by restless, propulsive electric bass, a small string ensemble, East-Asian percussion and spare Fender Rhodes lines, a musical tack that would be revived a quarter-century later and hailed as "acid jazz." But in portraying the serial killer Scorpio, Schifrin fuses the anxiety of 20th century classical modernism with electric psych-rock, then overlays it with an eerie, wordless soprano that beats Morricone at his own game. Also included here are smatterings of Schifrin's various source music (mostly disposable jazz and r&b kitsch) that colored the film's various San Francisco diners and dives, a context that only underscores the stunning, electric cool of his dramatic cues. --Jerry McCulley

This digitally remastered collection of tracks from Schifrin's first three Dirty Harry scores is only marginally better than the 1983 vinyl release 'Sudden Impact and the best of Dirty Harry', an album that included music from 'Dirty Harry', 'Magnum Force', 'The Enforcer' (some excellent work from the late Jerry Fielding) with the fistful of 'Sudden Impact' tracks. While it was a nice enough overview of the composer's contributions to the films, nonetheless, cues were left out, leaving the true collector disappointed and hungry for more.

Like the above mentioned release, Dirty Harry Anthology seems to be lacking some tracks to make it feel truly complete. Examples? Dirty Harry's Creed is still missing a piano solo and I guess... issues kept the somewhat painful Roberta Flack end title song from Sudden Impact off of this release (although the track San Francisco After Dark is an instrumental cover of that tune). The melancholy electric piano solos that played on the closing credits of 'Dirty Harry' and 'Magnum Force' are not included, but the composition can still be heard on the track 'The Mayor'. Also Schifrin does not bother to include any of his fine work for the (to date) final Dirty Harry movie 'The Dead Pool'.

Quibbles aside, this is the most complete collection of some of the greatest cop movie music ever composed and it still sounds fresh and invigorating almost thirty years later. Any serious soundtrack collector should be happy to have it, just don't be too quick to throw out that 1983 vinyl release. You'll still need it. Highly recommended, regardless. -- Chadwick H.
