As detective stories go, it doesn't get more "hard boiled" than "Madigan" (1968). Richard Widmark stars in the title role of a NYC detective who's got his hands full. His wife (Inger Stevens) wants him off the force. Sodoes his chief, Charles Kane (JamesWhitmore). And when Madigan and his partner (Harry Guardino) let a murderer slip through their fingers, Police Commissioner Russell (Henry Fonda) blows his stack. Now Madigan has 72 hours to catch a killer, patch things up with his wife and bring down acorrupt commander. It's going to be an amazing 72 hours!
