Brannigan (1975)

Directed by Douglas Hickox, Brannigan (1975) stars John Wayne, Richard Attenborough, Judy Geeson and Mel Ferrer. The film follows a tough Chicago police lieutenant sent to London to escort an American gangster back to the United States, only to become involved in kidnappings, corruption and murder. Blending American cop action with British crime cinema, the film showcases John Wayne in one of his few modern-day police roles.

Veteran Chicago detective Jim Brannigan (John Wayne, The Searchers) is dispatched to London to bring back notorious gangster Ben Larkin (John Vernon, Dirty Harry), and is assured that the whole operation will run smoothly. However, when things don’t go to plan, Brannigan finds himself in the crosshairs of Larkin’s thugs. Reluctantly teaming up with by-the-book Commander Swann of Scotland Yard (Richard Attenborough, The Great Escape), but determined to recapture Larkin no matter what, Brannigan tears through London, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.

Boasting incredible stunts, powerful punch-ups, dry dialogue and panoramic views of 1970s London shot by cinematographer Gerry Fisher (The Go-Between, Highlander), as well as a superb supporting cast including Judy Geeson and Mel Ferrer, Brannigan still stands tall as an explosive, action-packed, highly entertaining and peculiarly British excursion for the legendary John Wayne.
