I don't think you can't do wrong with Clint Eastwood, but some movies are better than others.

I don't think you can't do wrong with Clint Eastwood, but some movies are better than others. This is one of the cases in which I think the movie would even be a bit forgettable if it wasn't for Clint, but he is just so convincing and say every line so strongly that it became a classic. |

John Wayne was up for the role and turned it down. I thought it was the opposite, didn't he want the role but was turned down? |

"I turned it down for what seemed to me to be three very good reasons. The first is that they offered it to Frank Sinatra first, but he’d hurt his hand and couldn’t do it. I don’t like being offered Sinatra’s rejections. Put that one down to pride. The second reason is that I thought Harry was a rogue cop. Put that down to narrow-mindedness because when I saw the picture I realized that Harry was the kind of part I’d played often enough; a guy who lives within the law but breaks the rules when he really has to in order to save others.”
He would do his own versions with McQ and Brannigan.
