Movie Title: Coogan’s Bluff Coogan’s Bluff is available for streaming or downloading. |
The talented team of Clintus & Sigelini (Clint Eastwood & Don Siegel) show why they paired up in so many outstanding films together with Clint Eastwood’s 1968 cowboy foray into New York City !
Eastwood is the quietly spoken, straightforward Arizona lawmen Walt Coogan sent to New York City to return captured escapee James Ringerman (Don Stroud). Coogan slips up, Ringerman escapes and the hunt is on through the bars, discotheques and parks of New York City for the violent criminal. Solid character actor Lee J. Cobb, plays the frustrated New York police Lieutenant McElroy trying to keep Coogan and his rough and tumble Arizona law enforcement methods in check.
One can’t help but get the feeling that “Coogans Bluff” was almost like a dry run for Clint & Don Siegel for the pair’s upcoming 1971 cop thriller “Dirty Harry”….about another maverick law enforcement officer refusing to accept mediocrity !
“Coogans Bluff” is an interesting and stylish work that is still enjoyable to watch.
PS. Keep your eyes open in the sequence when Clint enters the discotheque, and they are flashing various images on the walls…you see a very quick glimpse of footage from the 1958 film “Tarantula” where Clint had a bit part as a jet pilot sent to kill the giant arachnid with napalm !!
Another great Clint Eastwood movie gets the DVD release treatment, and finds Clint playing the title role in this “rural cop in the big city” action drama. This movie paved the way for the long running and succesful (though much more benign) TV series “McCloud” starring Dennis Weaver, and deals with the cultural clash between a Sheriff from Arizona, and NYPD’s finest. This is a fairly straightforward story, but handled very well by the Don Siegel in the directors chair, who went on to make other Eastwood gems such as Dirty Harry a couple of years later. Fighting off the constant stereotyping by his New York brother officers, Lt Coogan (Eastwood) is a laconic fish out of water, and has to track down and return to Arizona with escaped killer Ringerman, played by Don Stroud. Red tape, and more than a little obstruction by the locals, mainly in the form of Lee J Cobb as his opposite number add to his woes, along with being caught up in the 60’s drug and crime scene. The story suffers a little from this point of view, as the hippie psychedelic portrayal looks a bit dated, but the action more than makes for this minor complaint. Plenty of pace makes the 95 minute running time zoom by, and even though the ending is more than a little familiar, it’s still a very enjoyable movie. Good solid early Eastwood action with a few great moments of comedy thrown in, and a particularly clever choreograghed bar room brawl, complete with pool sticks and balls is worth seeing also, and durability on the rewatching scale makes this a solid buy for fans and newcomers alike.
