Dirty Harry confronts women's lib ... and Eastwood demonstrates his feminist affinities once again.

Jonathan R. Perry

A grim, gutsy, perversely satisfying shot of machismo from an era when action heroes were action heroes -- not a little boy's idea of an action hero.

A solid third installment in the DIRTY HARRY series. Tyne Daly excellent as the flustered but competent female partner. Great final showdown with terrorists on Alcatraz.
