Part 6: The Craft of Dirty Harry

A homage to the cinematographers, composers, editors, set designers and other collaborators who helped make the Dirty Harry series unforgettable. Clint Eastwood comments on his opinion of the auteur theory and we get interviews with the likes of Lalo Schifrin, James Fargo, Michael Madsen, Jay Cocks, David Ayer and several others as they talk about the importance of the editor, cinematographer as well as the composer. At the time, Lalo Schifrin was very much in demand as a composer for films, television, and records. Schifrin wrote music for five of director Don Siegel's films, three of which starred Clint Eastwood. But it was that first Harry Callahan film that captured the public fancy and would spawn four sequels, making Eastwood even more famous as a San Francisco detective than he had been as a western antihero. This featurette pays homage to the people behind the camera who usually don't get any credit for their work. We take a look at their role and comtribution to the series.
