Coogan's Bluff [DVD]

Clint Eastwood stars in Coogan's Bluff , an action-packed thriller that marked the first of five collaborations between the star and director Don Siegel. Walter Coogan (Eastwood), a soft-spoken, straightforward Arizona lawman, is sent to New York City to extradite a captured murderer (Dan Stroud). After accidentally letting the prisoner escape, Coogan gets caught up in a life-or-death manhunt throughout the mean streets of the city. Coogan's unconventional law enforcement techniques don t go over too well with frustrated NYC Police Lieutenant McElroy (Lee J. Cobb), who can t decide which is worse...the prisoner, or the lawman!
