Madigan 1968, directed by Don Siegel, based on a novel by Richard Dougherty, starring Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda, Inger Stevens, Susan Clark, Harry Guardino, James Whitmore, Don Stroud, Michael Dunn and others.
Super cool soundtrack by Don Costa, that reminds of many police series of the late 1960's and early 1970s theme music.
Great New York location shots.
It's two parallell stories, one about a bust that turns wry, the other about the top brass that might have have someone near that is corrupt. within 72 hours the story is told.
Very loosly I would call it a crime thriller, but it relies more on characters.
As a big fan of Richard Widmark, I like his tough but not without faults persona here
Henry Fonda shows why he's Henry Fonda.'
Both Inger Stevens and Susan Clark have rather thankless roles
I love how they wore hats back then, and smoked cigarettes in situations when they shouldn't
