Don Siegel directs Clint Eastwood, Lee J. Cobb and Susan Clark in this cop thriller where an Arizona deputy sheriff comes to NYC to catch a fugitive.

Clint versus The Hippies. Or a very reactionary dry run for Beverly Hills Cop’s fish-out-of-water disruptor detective formula. Fading western transposed to The Big Apple. Clint getting his fuck on any which way he can. Pool room brawls, motorbike duels and freak out face-offs. A very pure, simple movie that hits the spots and holds up as a quirky artefact of its time.
