Richard Widmark as Detective Dan Madigan and Harry Guardino as Detective Rocco Bonaro are not exactly in their chief's good books. But needless to say, they both manage to pull through in style.
Despite its lack of originality, director Don Siegel's big-budget "Madigan" (1968) was a popular police drama with both critics and public cheering wildly!
Siegel's astute use of real locations as well as his top-of-the-form cast had audiences cheering.
The plot had several noirish features, but Siegel kept the action keyed at such a fast tempo, these elements actually made little impression.
Also making little impression on both cheering critics and audiences was one-time super-popular sex bomb, Sheree North, billed as "Jonesy", somewhat way down the cast list! I didn't spot her at all. I will have to watch the movie again!
