Dirty Harry's America

Clint Eastwood, Harry Callahan, and the Conservative Backlash

Beschreibung

Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry became the prototype for a new kind of movie cop - an antihero in pursuit of his own vision of justice. In Dirty Harry's America, Joe Street argues that the movies shed critical light on the culture and politics of the post-1960s era and locates San Francisco as the symbolic cultural battleground of the time.
