Policemen Bonaro and Madigan lose their guns to fugitive Barney Benesch. As compensation, the two NYC detectives are given a weekend to bring Benesch to justice. While Bonaro and Madigan follow up on various leads, Police Commissioner Russell goes about his duties, including attending functions, meeting with aggrieved relatives, and counseling the spouses of fallen officers.
badly dated
slow moving dated cop film of a TV series. It is badly cast, as some of the actors look far too young for the roles they play. The idea of cops who throw away the rule book is OK as a series, but fails to convince in this movie, possibly because of the awful dialogue.
Siegel's career really took off with this urban thriller, the first of several. Widmark, like Eastwood in Coogan's Bluff and Dirty Harry, is typical of Siegel's uncompromisingly independent heroes, suspicious of all organizations. Speaking in cold, metallic tones, Widmark is Sergeant Dan Madigan, a tough New York detective, given three days to find a killer by his martinet superior Fonda. Shot largely on location, the film shows the routine work of the police department in an almost documentary manner. Although Madigan is killed at the climax, the character was resurrected for six TV movies in the early 1970s.
