WHITOY3 FREE PRESS, Thursday, Jul /6, 972, pari en te taiqment About Clint Eastwood guide At Whitby's Brock Theatre DIRTY HARRY'S IN TOWN ! Don't let Clint Eastwood's violent screen demeanor fool you. He's a push- ove r for kindness and consideration. He respects every living thing from kids to kangaroos; he believes in peace and reasonableness, and he has been k n o w n to gently urge a common house fly out the window rather than destroy its fragile life with a violent swat. Eastwood's impenetrable toughness grew natural I y, out of those Italian ro les in such films as " A Fistful of D o I I a r s" a n d " For A Few Dollars "More in which an absence of humane- ne s s made him a disreputable but ad- mi red k ind of movie hero. With the international success that came to him in those roles, he stayed more or less in the same type when he resumed mak- pictures in America. He w as a tough cowboy, or a tough soldier, or a tough deputy sheriff, and right now he's a tough police detective in "Dirty Harry" a Malpaso Production for Warner Bros. , no\w at the Brock Theatre , produced and directed by Don al1 d Siegel. Clint plays t h e title role, the epithet indicating that Harry gets the d ir t y end of the stick rather than that he plies his profession in a less than admirable manner. Gradually Clint will probably water down h i s image of violence as he goes in other directions, expandinghis char- acterizations, whilehis continuing success a s an actor becomes a recog- ni zed as much as his original success as an actor who plays brutal roles. C l i n t Eastwood i s truly an animal lover and abhors any kind of cruelty in t h e wild kingdom, as well as in the domesticone. He is also a people lover and deplores inhumani ty in any respect. His wife feels the same way. For most of theyear they live a happy , respectable life in the resort communityof Carmel, Calif. , with their four-year-old son Kyle. Presently they are occupying a house of cottage dimen- sions, but Clint owns some beach pro- perty on which he hopes soon to build larger headquarters.
