I had high hopes for this flick, seeing how Don Siegel directed three of my all-time faves (...Body Snatchers, Charley Varrick, and Dirty Harry.) Coogan's Bluff turned out to be a real disapointment, with a mediocre, lazy script (the "fish out of water" jokes grew lame very quickly), a washed-out, ugly look, and a really unconvincing romance (Clint mixes it up with "Webster" mom Susan Clark.) The awesome motorcycle chase at the end of the flick around the Cloisters did little to redeem the film. 4/10. (P.S. I'm not a big fan of hippies, either.)
