As others have noted, “Madigan” is at its best in basic cops-and-robbers mode, when Detectives Dan Madigan (Richard Widmark) and Rocco Bennaro (Harry Guardino) are pursuing insanely dangerous gunman Barney Benesch (Steve Ihnat). Director Don Siegel knows what he’s doing when it comes to movement and violence, and that’s more than evident here.
A subplot involving the embattled police commissioner (Henry Fonda) and his struggle with possible graft on the part of his long-time friend and captain (James Whitmore) works reasonably well.
The commissioner’s affair with a married woman (Susan Clark) isn’t too much of a distraction, especially since Clark is nice to look at, as usual.
But the subplot that doesn’t work is the unhappiness of Madigan’s wife (Inger Stevens). Stevens does what she can to bring the woman to life, but the script defeats her, particularly in a scene following a police ball.
Production values are very high, as 1968 New York emerges vividly in the location shooting. Don Costa’s score deserves to be released on CD - it’s a very memorable and exciting one, especially the main title and the build-up to the climax.
Richard Dougherty’s THE COMMISSIONER, upon which MADIGAN, is based was one of the first works of fiction to accurately portray cops problems away from the station house. MADIGAN, one of the best films of 1968, is true to that part of the book and Don Siegel implants his own brand of genius on the rest. MADIGAN shows a not too distant era when there were blood-and-guts hat wearing detectives who worked their own angles to solve their cases. The portrayls by Widmark and Guardino are lasting and solid to the core. For it’s time, MADIGAN was a gold standard in police procedurals. The NYC landscape bolstered by the Don Costa soundtrack is stunning.
