Madigan is Detective Dan Madigan, as depicted by Richard Widmark, a tough-as-nails New York City cop who with his partner, Detective Rocco Bonaro (Harry Guardino), sets out to make what will presumably be just another routine arrest, in this instance of career criminal Barney Benesch. Unbeknownst to the two cops, however, Benesch, a sex-addicted psychopath played to the hilt by Steve Ihnat, is the principal suspect in a recent homicide. Benesch gets the drop on the two detectives after they storm his room, seizes their service revolvers and makes his escape. The rest of the film follows Madigan and Bonaro as they follow leads in their pursuit of the crazed fugitive, having been given seventy-two hours to bring him in and and retrieve their weapons or face the consequences. This ultimatum was directed by the Police Commissioner himself, Anthony X. Russell (Henry Fonda), a ramrod straight individual who sees life in terms of right and wrong, with no room for excusing even the slightest impropriety. It seems that the Commissioner is not quite so rigid in the morals department when it comes to his personal life, however. He is carrying on an illicit affair with a married socialite (Susan Clark) and he's conflicted over what to do when he is furnished with evidence obtained from a wiretapped conversation indicating that his colleague and boyhood chum, Chief Inspector Charles Kane (James Whitmore), might have been compromised. Madigan is not without his own problems on the home front, either. Inger Stevens, as his bored and lonely wife whose life revolves around her husband, sits around their apartment waiting for him to come home while Madigan is out in the trenches doing whatever it is he's doing. The film continues to build up momentum as the NYPD finally closes in on Benesch in his squalid hotel room hide-out, and its climactic, bullet-splattered finale does not disappoint. (This film was based on actual events in the case of free lance gun for hire August Robles, who was shot to death in his East Harlem hideout by members of the NYPD during a raging gun battle on February 20, 1955).

Competent, if uninspired, Don Siegel effort
Will be brief:- Am generally a Don Siegle fan and wasn’t aware there was a movie until I came across some positive online reviews- Remember watching the TV show of the same name as a teenager, and was curious to see it’s origins (recall it had an interesting sound track)- It is not available online, so, for only $9, I went w/ the DVD- After all this, I found Madigan to be very routine, w/ little in the areas of plot, dialogue, acting, directing, pay-off moments, procedural accuracy, "slice of life" or nostalgia for 1968, etc., to recommend it.- In the name of Siegel-thoroughness, am glad I tried it. But unless you are especially fond of one of the key players, you are not missing much.- Hope this helps. Be well!
