Eastwood plays the victim in The Beguiled, 1971. The film was largely unsuccessful, which Eastwood blamed on his fans not warming to his emasculated role

Eastwood gets back to action in Dirty Harry, 1971, starring as a tough San Francisco cop. This was the first of five Harry Callahan movies, making it Eastwood's signature role

His most famous lines: "But, being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

Released in 1971, Dirty Harry was a phenonemal success. The film has been credited with inventing the loose-cannon cop genre imitated to this day
