Frank Sinatra’s advice changed one of the largest Klint Eastwood films

San Francisco may fall behind the likes of New York and Los Angeles in terms of the huge size of films filmed on the site in the city, but it compensates for this with some of the very unforgettable screen aspects. There was a giant octopus attack in the movie “It came from the bottom of the sea”, with real shots of the Golden Gate bridge that was divided into the Ray Harryhausen creature on the argument. Steve McQueen was behind the steering wheel to surround the famous cars in “Bullitt” and It is led by Ryan O’Neil and Parbra Streisand with the best movement scene ever in “What is it, DOC?” Union Square was the preparation for GENE Hackman for wires in the movie “The Convert”, and Alcatraz island at “The Rock”. Then there was “Dirty Harry”, which is the best Frisco movie in the 1970s, and we have Frank Sinatra thank you for this choice from the site.

It is better to remember the eyes of OL “as a bet and chairman of the Council’s salaries, but the legendary singer was one of many prominent actors in the competition to play” dirty “Harry Callen before Clint Eastwood made his distinguished role. In fact, Senatra was linked to the project before I forced him to get away from the movie. The fire first and asks questions later, but at the time, he was a very capable actor to enhance the image of a harsh man.

While Sinatra played the starring role in many lightweight music comedy was not particularly required, he also made strong shows in a number of most serious films. He won an Oscar for his support “From here forever,” The nomination of the main actor of “The Man with the Golden Arm” was picked up with a turbulent veteran (opposite his deened Brigadier Martin) in “some running”, and scored a wartime movement with “Von Ryan’s Express”. Then, in the late 1960s, Sinatra starred in a trio of boiled crime films: “Tony Roma”, “The Investigations”, and “Lady in Cement”, which is a complement to the first. After that, it was the movie “Calhaan”, and was Sinatra, which was praising, “Calhaan”, and Sinatra was influencing the place where the film would be filmed.

during Telephone interview Through a radio station in the Gulf region in 1970, he stated that the “Calhaan” scenario was a “good text” packed with millimera and suspense. He also expressed his hope that the producers would be able to obtain a person like John Frankenheimer to guide him, who previously worked as a “Manishai candidate”. With the shooting in October of the same year, he also talked about choosing the site:

“It would have been filmed in New York and chose San Francisco, we changed it, because I thought San Francisco was never … I don’t think it was filmed at all as it should, in reality.”

Unfortunately, by December 1970, Senatra was outside it, and according to what was reported, he moved away from the role because of Harry’s choice of weapons. He suffered from a hand injury during filming “The Manchesy Candidate” (a movie that includes the most evil cinematic mother of all) It has only been surgery only to fix the string problem. According to his friend Robert Devi, Sinatra took one look at the gun and said: “I am afraid to be very big for me.” After many years, Clint Eastwood He said He thought that the excuse was “lame”, but the loss of Sinatra was his gains, and he collaborated again with Don Siegel (after “Kojanz a trick”, “Two of the mules of Sister Sarah, and” The Beguiled “) for one of the largest films in his career. So despite the change of the star and the director, the Sinatra site remained. It can be said that it made the movie.

With the film photographer Bruce Sirties on the plane, “Dirty Harry” has become a sparkling offer to the city by the Gulf. The film listens under a blue sky under the bright sunlight, the film begins with amazing panorama from the top of 555 California Street. From here, the series, the series, Scorpio (andy Robinson), kills his first and finds Harry note the ransom. Accompanied by the strengthening result in Lalu Chevrerene, we get a lot of street flavor with the homogeneous tram, bold traffic, wrong strip joints, and even cinema that is shown for the first time in Eastwood guidance, “plays my fog for me.” Other attractions in the Saqfah City Tour include San Francisco City Hall; Washington Square (where Scorpio is frustrated during the scaling of another victim); The Cross is 100 feet at the top of Mount Davidson (ransom site); And the old San Francisco 49ers stadium, where Harry Scorpio is tormented. New York was undoubtedly well as a background, but San Francisco proved to be an integral part of the atmosphere of “Dirty Harry”. Thanks for the advice, Mr. Sinatra!
