Adapted from Richard Dougherty's THE COMMISSIONER, MADIGAN stars Richard Widmark as the eponymous New York detective in this warmup for Don Siegel's DIRTY HARRY. Joined by his partner Rocco Bonaro (Harry Guardino), Madigan raids the apartment of criminal Barney Benesch (Steve Ihnat), but when both cops are briefly frozen by the sight of the hood's naked girlfriend, Benesch has time to grab their guns and make his escape. Commissioner Anthony X. Russell calls the cops on the carpet when it's learned that Benesch was wanted for homicide.This is only one among many problems for Russell, who is being dumped by his mistress, Tricia Bentley (Susan Clark), subjected to claims of police brutality by minister Dr. Taylor (Raymond St. Jacques), and forced to confront the corruption of Chief Inspector Kane (James Whitmore). Learning that Madigan and Bonaro had been working outside their own precinct, Russell angrily orders the pair to find Benesch within the next 72 hours.
