Madigan

''Madigan'' is a 1968 American neo-noir crime drama thriller film directed by Don Siegel (as Donald Siegel) and starring Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda and Inger Stevens.

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''. Provided by Wikipedia
