Coogan's Arrival at the NYPD (Clint Eastwood Scene) | Coogan's Bluff

Arizona Deputy Walt Coogan (Clint Eastwood) is interrupted in his bathtub by local cops before being dispatched to New York City, where he strides into an NYPD precinct expecting Western justice to translate seamlessly into metropolitan chaos. It's classic Eastwood cool colliding with urban bureaucracy—his laconic swagger and cowboy hat immediately marking him as an outsider in a city that operates by entirely different rules, setting up the culture clash that defines this proto-Dirty Harry thriller directed with lean efficiency by Don Siegel.
