Description of this Inspector Harry Poster
Detective Harry is a 1971 American crime film. This thriller set in San Francisco was directed by Don Siegel and is one of the best-known and most influential crime films. It features the unconventional inspector "Inspector Harry" Callahan, played by Clint Eastwood, in pursuit of a psychopathic serial killer. The film was entered into the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 2012.
From the roof of a skyscraper, a man shoots a young woman who was swimming in a swimming pool. At the scene of the crime, the perpetrator leaves a handwritten message in which he announces that he will kill one person per day if the city does not pay him $100,000. He indicates that he will then kill "a Catholic priest or a Negro", the message being signed Scorpio. The mayor tasks Inspector Harry Callahan with arresting the killer as quickly as possible. Callahan, a cynical loner, is known for his heavy-handed, if effective, methods of investigation and regularly gets into trouble with his superiors. Often, Inspector Callahan himself does not follow the laws to achieve his police objectives.
With his young Mexican partner Gonzales, who is forcibly assigned to be the reluctant inspector, Callahan throws himself into the investigation. Through an announcement in the San Francisco Chronicle, the municipality informed the unknown shooter that it was ready to pay the requested money, while asking in the newspaper text for a delay in raising the large sum of money. . However, the killer does not give in and tries to kill a young black man. He is interrupted by the police, but manages to escape. Later, he shoots a ten-year-old African-American man. The police suspect Scorpio of next wanting to kill a priest, as he announced, and set a trap for him. After a nighttime shootout on the roofs of buildings with Callahan, he escapes and kills a police officer in the process.
The next day, the psychopath Scorpio kidnaps a 14-year-old girl, rapes her and buries her alive. He increases his ransom demand to $200,000. During the costly delivery of the ransom, Callahan is chased by Scorpio with a yellow bag containing the money, from telephone booth to telephone booth through the streets and subway stations in the evening, through which he receives further instructions. In a dark park, Callahan is brutally beaten by the masked killer in a red hood. When his partner Gonzales comes to his aid, he is seriously injured by gunfire. That's when Callahan, who is bleeding on the ground, is able to pull a switchblade knife from under his pant leg and stab it into the killer's leg. With the knife buried deep in his thigh, Scorpio limps away into the darkness without the money. He took refuge in a nearby hospital and had his knife wound treated anonymously there. In this clinic, Callahan later learns that the killer's hideout is in the Kezar Stadium football stadium, where Scorpio lives in a modest dwelling. Inspector Harry then faces his opponent in the football stadium lit by floodlights. Disgusted, Callahan extorts from the killer the location of the missing girl by placing his foot on the repeat killer who has fallen to the ground and is moaning. The girl, however, was only found dead in a hole in the ground - the autopsy revealed that she had been murdered shortly after her kidnapping.
Scorpio is released, as he was deprived of his right to a lawyer and the search of his hideout was carried out without a judicial warrant, thus rendering all evidence unusable (fruits of the poisoned tree). Callahan pursues Scorpio only to catch him committing a criminal act. In a cellar, Scorpio, who suffers from mental illness, is beaten for pay by a black-skinned thug and launches a public campaign against Inspector Callahan, accused of arbitrariness and brutality. On this occasion, the intriguing Scorpio, whose face is now bandaged with white gauze, claims to the press hungry for sensationalism that he has suffered physical abuse from Inspector Harry Callahan.
Later, Scorpio robs a liquor store and thus obtains money and a gun. He hijacks a school bus and demands $200,000 and a plane. The mayor wants to pay and forbids Callahan from doing anything against the killer. The latter nevertheless wants to confront Scorpio and manages to stop the bus by his own means by jumping from a bridge onto the roof of the school bus. Scorpio flees on foot towards a quarry. There, he without hesitation takes hostage a boy who is fishing at the edge of a lake and asks Callahan to put down his revolver which he has taken out. He lowers his gun, but quickly raises it and shoots the killer in the shoulder. When the killer again grabbed his pistol from the ground, he was shot by Callahan, with the sixth and final bullet from his Smith & Wesson revolver, and fell into the water, hit. In the final scene, the inspector throws his police badge into the lake.
