Madigan (1968) follows the gritty narrative of New York detective Dan Madigan, portrayed by Richard Widmark, in a prequel to Don Siegel's iconic film DIRTY HARRY. Madigan and his partner, Rocco Bonaro (Harry Guardino), find themselves in a tense situation when they raid the apartment of notorious criminal Barney Benesch (Steve Ihnat). A brief distraction by Benesch's naked girlfriend allows the criminal to seize their guns and flee. The ensuing chaos leads to a stern reprimand from Commissioner Anthony X. Russell, who is grappling with his own set of troubles, including a breakup with his mistress, Tricia Bentley (Susan Clark), accusations of police brutality from minister Dr. Taylor (Raymond St. Jacques), and the corruption within the ranks, notably from Chief Inspector Kane (James Whitmore). Russell, enraged by Madigan and Bonaro's unauthorized actions, gives them a 72-hour deadline to apprehend Benesch. With the help of bookie Midget Castiglione (Michael Dunne) and pimp Hughie (Don Stroud), the detectives manage to track down their elusive target. The film offers a raw, action-packed portrayal of the daily challenges faced by big-city police officers, complemented by a stellar supporting cast.
