The raw violence in this film wasn't anything spectacular, but it was a foreshadowing of what was to come in the future.
This film started a 10 year relationship between Eastwood and director Don Siegel. They would go on to do four more films, including Dirty Harry.
You can contrast Eastwood's cool Coogan with the hokey McCloud that followed with Dennis Weaver.
It's Harry Callhan with out a gun, so it is interesting from a historical perspective in the Eastwood acting career.
It is also interesting to see the culture of the time being the Woodstock era.
