Plot: This offbeat John Wayne vehicle casts the Duke as Detective Jim Brannigan, an Irish-American detective at large in London. After the requisite culture-clash routines, it's down to business as Brannigan teams with Scotland Yard official Commander Swann (Richard Attenborough) to corral a crook who has absconded to England to avoid extradition. Judy Geeson co-stars as Jennifer Thatcher, a cute lady constable who spends most over her time fending off Brannigan's inbred chauvinism. Brannigan was co-written by Christopher Trumbo, the son of former blacklistee Dalton Trumbo. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Great Duke film. Not as good as Mcq, but a good movie. 1 of only 2 movies where the Duke plays a cop.

A lot of fun to watch. If your kids have never seen the Duke.
This is a good one to start them on. No one can play parts like
these better than John Wayne. Great addition the my John Wayne
library.

Wayne's second try at following Clint's lead from the sagebrush to a modern urban setting is basically a retread of Coogan's Bluff and it's not bad. There are still some right-wing complaints about civil liberties, but the tone is more amiable than McQ. Everything's pretty diverting until we get to the drawn-out "funny" bare-knuckle brawl that doesn't work here any better than it did a few years earlier in The Undefeated.

Not one of the better films...but it IS the Duke!

Well, I'm a big John Wayne fan. He was and remains one of the great American icons. Brannigan is not a great film, although one of his final films; it is a necessary addition to complete one's collection. But don't blame the Duke: the writing is bad, the direction is poor, the editing is mediocre and the story is a bore. Yes, the Duke is very old, but he is still great. It's just a poor movie. 'McQ' is far better all around. Look at 'Brannigan' as a film trip to Joly Ol' England with John Wayne.
