	'''Madigan''' is a 1968 crime drama that many consider to be one of the transitional movies from the Joe Friday ''[[Dragnet]]''-type of police procedurals of the 1960s to the grittier ''[[French Connection, The\|Popeye Doyle]]''/''[[Dirty Harry]]'' detectives of the early 1970s. In many ways, ''Madigan'' has an old fashioned feel to it. Based on the 1962 novel "The Commissioner" by Richard Dougherty, the film's story feels almost like an Arthur Hailey novel. The film focuses on N.Y.P.D. police commissioner Anthony Russell ([[Henry Fonda]]), who is dealing with a crisis filled weekend while Detectives Madigan ([[Richard Widmark]]) and Bonaro ([[Harry Guardino]]) pursue a murder suspect ([[Steve Ihnat]]) who has evaded them and gotten their revolvers as well. In the hands of a lesser director, the film might play as a glossy melodrama, but director [[Don Siegel]] turned it into a suspenseful melodrama with a couple crackerjack action sequences. ''Madigan'' would later be adapted into an NBC television series of the same name with Richard Widmark reprising his role.
