Dirty Harry as Pornography: Revealing the Unrevealed
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Dirty Harry was released 40 years ago. We contend that it was a very influential film because it was one of the first mainstream pornography films. Our analysis shows how the producers of Dirty Harry used the signifiers and ideology of a porn film to reveal the dirty side of society. Today, those porn film signifiers have created a porn film ideology, which is a common element on television and in film.
