''Clegg'', (a.k.a. ''The Bullet Machine'', ''Clegg Private Eye'' and ''Harry and the Hookers'') is a 1970 British crime film directed by Lindsay Shonteff. It features Creator/GilbertWynne in his first starring role.
Harry Clegg is an ex-policeman turned PrivateDetective who fights dirty. His latest assignment is to track down a crazed prostitute responsible for a string of murders.
----
* PrivateEyeMonologue: Clegg provides a first person narration of the events in a typical hardboiled style. The opening lines set the scene:
-->''That's me. My name is Harry Clegg. I'm a private eye. I'm also a cold-blooded killer, a lecher, a liar and a thief. My big problem is I've been a loser since the day I was born. I was returning from a little job in Brighton, having picked up a tenner for my part as co-respondent in a divorce case. I hadn't worked for four months. If that was work, I liked it. She turned out to be a real swinger. And it proved to be one hell of a job. Why my client failed to get his divorce, I'll never understand. Unfortunately, he didn't. And he wanted his money back so I left town fast.''
