Storyline
In the year 1971, San Francisco faces the embarrassment of an inept and hygiene challenged cop- Inspector Harry Callahan (known as Soiled Harry by his peers who knows he has not showered since 1967). He is only kept on the force because of the power and influence of his billionaire father and former populist mayor, Pinky Callahan. It is his newest partner, Inspector Frida Lopez (who benefits from a genetic lack of olfactory sensors) who is able to convince Harry to seek help from an unconventional shrink, Dr. Connor. Using humiliation and cat and mouse type of games against Callahan, Connor is able to crack the fears and veeners of the smelly cop and bring him to a full state of self actualization.

SOILED HARRY (1971) **** Clint Eastwood, Phyllis Diller, Porky Pig, Dennis Hopper. Eastwood made cinematic lore out of his pathetic and tortured psuche cop Harry Callahan known only as a buffoon on the force and someone not wanted on the scene of any crime or facing the public. He comes to grip with his own inner demons only after a powerful and unconventional intervention by Dr Connor (grinning slobberying toon Diller) who touches Harry's inner child and frees him of his fears. Directed by Eastwood's long-time mentor Dom DeLuise the film acts as a parable of the expectations of a society that characterizes innocent people based on outward appearance. It still remains a heart wrenching exploration of self. Classic Clean Clint.
