Pick of the day: Dirty Harry
Classic tense crime thriller starring Clint Eastwood as “Dirty” Harry Callahan, a violent and uncompromising police officer in pursuit of Scorpio (Andrew Robinson), a psychopath who has murdered a young girl in San Francisco and threatens more killings if his ransom demand is not met.
Callahan’s unorthodox methods do not endear him to his superiors but the mayor reluctantly agrees that he seems to be the right cop for the job.
A seminal 1970s law and order film that led not only to four sequels but a number of imitations.
With Reni Santoni and Harry Guardino. Directed by Donald Siegel.
Channel 5, 10pm.
