English Summary:

Madigan is a 1968 American dramatic thriller film directed by Don Siegel and starring Richard Widmark and Henry Fonda.

The screenplay—originally titled Friday, Saturday, Sunday—was adapted by two writers who had been blacklisted in the 1950s, Howard Rodman (credited here under the pseudonym Henri Simoun) and Abraham Polonsky. It was based on the 1962 novel The Commissioner by Richard Dougherty, a former New York bureau chief of the Los Angeles Times who had served in the 1950s as a deputy New York City police commissioner for community relations.

Siegel was a genre director known at the time for taut action films like The Lineup (1958) and Hell Is for Heroes (1962), as well as the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956). He later directed five films starring Clint Eastwood, including Dirty Harry.

Hungarian Summary:

Richard Widmark (Ítélet Nürnbergben) és Henry Fonda (Tizenkét dühös ember) játssza a főszerepet ebben a kritikailag elismert zsarudrámában, amely kendőzetlen betekintést nyújt New York vezető nyomozóinak viszontagságos életébe. Don Siegel (Piszkos Harry) dokumentarista stílusban rendezett, magával ragadó filmjében Richard Widmark egy veterán zsarut alakít, akinek csupán néhány órája van arra, hogy elfogjon egy kegyetlen gyilkost. Henry Fonda alakítja azt a könyörtelen, de nem szívtelen rendőrfőnöknőt, aki Widmarknak adja az ügyet, pedig sejti, hogy ez lehet a rendőr életének utolsó megbízatása.
