If there’s one man who would have stood with Marshal Kane, it was Harry Callahan.

In honor of the fact, today’s song of the day comes from 1971’s Dirty Harry. Composer Lalo Schifrin’s moody score remains one of the best cop film scores of all time.  It’s efficient, relentless, and deceptively low-key, just like “Dirty Harry” Callahan himself.
