    Harry Fink, U.S. screenwriter, Rita Fink, U.S. screenwriter, Dean Riesner, U.S. screenwriter, and Don Siegel. Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood)

    It’s a bad town to bring an appetite to, soldier. We’ve been here since yesterday morning and we’ve been living on boiled hay and razor blades.
    —Maxwell Anderson (1888–1959)
