In Clint Eastwood's third outing as Dirty Harry Callahan, the biggest malcontent on the San Francisco police force, he is shackled with a rookie female partner at the same time that he is attempting to ferret out the People's Revolutionary Strike Force, a terrorist group that has no apparent ideology but has at least a patently hissable villain — a blond, blue-eyed Vietnam vet. The problem is worked out with roughly the thoroughness of one of TV's hourly cop shows. The subsidiary problem of a female sidekick (Tyne Daly with a believable haircut, a brisk manner, and a girlish sprinting style) is not really at issue, but is simply an excuse to bring out Eastwood's perfected repertoire of wisecracks, sneers, and slow burns. Directed by James Fargo. (1976) — Duncan Shepherd
