The Coogan's Bluff

-----------------------------------------
An Arizona deputy goes to New York City to escort a fugitive back into custody.
Coogan's an Arizona deputy sheriff, who doesn't get along with his boss and doesn't exactly do things by the book, and also a little arrogant. Fed up with his rugged individualness, his boss sends him to New York to get a man who's waiting to extradited. Upon arriving everybody thinks he's just another bumpkin. When the New York Police Lieutenant tells him that his prisoner is still not ready to be transported, Coogan tries to be patient. But when he decides that he can't wait anymore, he tricks one of the attendants into releasing the prisoner and at the airport someone springs him. Coogan's boss is pleased that he has screwed up so bad, and orders him to return but Coogan feeling responsible or his ego has been bruised stays and tries to find despite being warn by the Lieutenant that he has no authority here.
As the story begins, Coogan, an Arizona policeman, goes after a murderer that is wanted. The man is found on top of a rocky hill trying to shoot the cop that has come for him. Coogan, a no-nonsense laconic man, out smarts the bandit and goes back with the fugitive, but before that he makes a stop to visit a woman whose man is away from home. That sets the tone for the story, Coogan is one of those men that are secure in themselves with no attitude to speak of.
The police chief in charge of Coogan, meanwhile, wants to send him on a mission to New York. He must pick up an escaped man now living in the Big Apple. Coogan, who is still sporting his western attire, sticks out like a sore thumb among the crowds of Manhattan. One thing for sure, he takes no bull crap from anyone, including the taxi driver that thinks he is so smart by going around in circles thinking his out of town passenger will not notice the way he is jacking up the price for the ride.
What Coogan finds is a hostile police environment. Little does he know that to do things in New York, he must rethink what he is accustomed to do in Arizona. His meeting with Chief McElroy doesn't go too well. For starters, the man he has come to get, Ringerman, has been sent to Bellevue for observation. There he finds his man in the company of a girlfriend, Linny Raven, who will prove to be more dangerous than Coogan bargained for. He also finds a kindred soul in Julie, a woman who works with tough cases within the police department. Coogan's stay in New York will be marked by violence, but he is smart enough to deal with the situation and get what he came for.
Don Siegel, a director who worked extensively in B pictures, is in charge of this production. Mr. Siegel, was an astute artist who always delivered, as he does with this 1968 film. He captures the essence of that generation like no one. Mr. Siegel was a master in these types of movies, as he clearly shows here.
Clint Eastwood shows the making of the persona that he will later transfer to most of his work that followed. His Coogan was a man of a few words who believed in getting a job done, as quickly, and as neatly, as possible. His take on this character is what he did best. Lee J. Cobb, one of the great actors of stage, and screen, is at hand to portray Lt. McElroy, a man who knows how things worked in his territory. Also in minor roles, Susan Clark, the great Betty Field who appears as Ringerman's mother in one of the best sequences of the film. Tisha Sterling, Don Stroud and a young Seymour Cassel have some interesting moments.
Lalo Schiffrin jazzy musical score worked well with the film as did the fine cinematography of Bud Thackery that photographed the Manhattan of those years with excellent flair. Don Siegel did a good job with his direction and made a film that is fun and packs some action as well.
I saw this a couple years back. I'm a huge Clint Eastwood fan. He's responsible for some of the greatest Western movies ever made, and is absolutely iconic in my books, but he did have some duds like any good actor along the way. Coogan's Bluff I'm sad to say was one of them. I was really taken aback by how ruthless this was, arguably a bit too ruthless for its own good. It's not the vulgarity that sinks it though, but the bad pacing. It was really mundane to watch most of the time. This was the inspiration for the T.V series McCloud, but I've never seen that show either. If it's anything like this movie, maybe that is a good thing. Clint Eastwood is great and perhaps served as a precursor to Dirty Harry, but he isn't able to contend with this movie's shortcomings.
Final Thoughts: Die hard Clint fans will wanna check this out, but it doesn't offer a whole lot in my opinion. Clint would correct this failed attempt with Dirty Harry.
