Review by anonymous (posted on 3-May-2006)

Richard Widmark as Detective Madigan along with his partner Rocco Bonaro played by Harry Guardino play great portrayals of New York City Detectives in the late 1960's. Anyone who grew up around New York in this era will enjoy watching this fast talking, fast paced drama with an excellent cast including none other than Henry Fonda as the Police Commissioner. The movie is well directed with great acting and for people who like real life crime drama. The characters have flaws that are believable. The only part I had trouble swallowing is that anyone who was married to Inger Stevens would need a break from her. But the script and story holds up and even though today people might cringe at the treatment of women in this movie it tells it like it is. It is a shame that Mr. Widmark has retired. Watching this move again last month I had forgotten the excellent quality of Madigan and it was as fresh as ever since my first viewing over 25 years ago. David Schneider Hong Kong
