Universal Studios wanted to hire the actor for $ 1 million, doubling his salary. For Universal wasJennings Long designated as the responsible manager. Long was the former agent of Director Don Siegel, who was under contract at Universal. It seemed a good idea to Eastwood and Siegel link to each other. Both men were able to make a movie on budget and quick to take. Eastwood, however, was not familiar with the work of Siegel and Long took care of a showing of three films by the Director who made a big impression on Eastwood. He agreed to a meeting with Siegel. It soon became apparent that long had seen it right, Eastwood and Siegel were on the same wavelength and the actor who directed by Siegel's ambitions, had understood that he could learn much. ==Scenario<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The idea for the scenario stemmed from an outline for a tv series. Herman Miller and Jack Laird, both screenwriters of the tv series Rawhide (in which Clint Eastwood had a major role as Rowdy Yates), developed in early 1967 a pilot for a new tv series. Sheriff Walt Coogan would go about that visit in New York City. Soon grew the idea into a screenplay for a feature film. The script was edited by Howard Rodman and another three writers. Location scouts started to look for suitable filming locations in New York and the Mojave desert. But the scenario ran dead, there were already seven versions written when Eastwood was approached for the role of Coogan. Eastwood called the screenwriters and shocked everyone by declaring that he would return to original screenplay by Miller. The rewritten versions went in the trash and Dean Riesner was attracted for updating Millers script. Riesner was an acquaintance of Don Siegel and had written the screenplay for the last of the tv film Stranger on the Run with Henry Fonda. Eastwood initially had little contact with Riesner, until the last a favorite scene of the actor changed. It was the scene in which Coogan has sex with Linny Raven. Eastwood became angry and began to interfere more with the script. Soon laid Riesner and Eastwood their dispute at and they worked to the final scenario. ==Title<span class="mw-editsection" len="330" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The title of the film, Coogan's Bluff, refers not only to the name of the main character, Walt Coogan, but also named after the cliff at 155th Street in Upper Manhattan, overlooking the Polo Grounds where the New York Giants and the New York Jets played. The Polo Grounds were demolished in 1964. ==Production<span class="mw-editsection" len="334" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===The recordings<span class="mw-editsection" len="335" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The recordings started in november 1967 and were completed at the end of december of that year. At the beginning of the turn the script was not yet fully ready period. Siegel and Eastwood appeared to be fine with each other to be able to find. Both men did not like endless rehearsals or recording multiple shots of the same scene. It was worked quickly and the film remained within the budget and the recording time. For Eastwood that was more often confronted with directors who did the reverse, all this was a breath of fresh air. He was planning to go for years directing and he learned a lot from Siegel. One of those things that he learned was the ' slimming down ' of the script. Siegel had a hate unnecessary dialogue and Eastwood shared this dislike. He removed all future dialogue that was necessary before the recordings not directly from the script. ===Details<span class="mw-editsection" len="339" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Don Siegel is itself to see briefly in the film: as the guy in the elevator.
