Dirty Harry premiere 1971 with Clint Eastwood in San Francisco

Clint Eastwood can be seen at 0:38.
Here are some very rare scenes from the benefit world movie premiere of Dirty Harry at Loews Theater in San Francisco, on December 22nd 1971. There are views of crowds cheering in the rain as guests arrive (including Mayor Joseph Alioto) and the film's star Clint Eastwood is seen being interviewed on a podium outside by KPIX's Rolf Peterson. Also features members of the Progressive Labor Party protesting against the film, one of whom is carrying a sign which reads: "Cops are no pals to Clarence Johnson." Ends with Peterson listing a few of the dignitaries who showed up despite bad weather, before wrapping up the story. Video originally aired on KPIX Eye on the Bay News [info copied from The Clint Eastwood Archive].

Hard to believe this was in 1971. Dirty Harry is still one of the most satisfying movies to watch. Clint Eastwood is my favorite actor.

Today in that cesspool called Frisco, Harry would be charged with murder for killing a misunderstood hippie named Scorpio

[@RobertK1993]

The Zodiac killer was bases for Scorpio he wasn't misunderstood unless your retarded 😂

The movie theater's marquee when Soiled Harold shoots the bank robbers in the car and he walks up to the robber on the ground has Play Misty For Me on it.

They don’t make journalists like Rolfe Peterson anymore.

50+ years ago it was a really happenin' place...that said, parts of SF are still cool to visit, (just don't live there) however, just north of SF along the coast is beautiful...great weather for those who prefer cooler climates.
