Fortunately, John Wayne had two vastly more interesting feature films (Rooster Cogburn and The Shootist) left in him following this disposable, leaden 1975 fish-out-of-water story. Wayne phones in his performance as a Chicago cop, Jim Brannigan, whose hunt for a fugitive in London is mostly an excuse for cross-cultural conflicts and comedy. Richard Attenborough adds local color as a Scotland Yard detective who partners with the Duke, and Judy Geeson plays a lovely, liberated constable who won't brook Brannigan's ingrained sexism. The by-the-numbers script is more pacifying for diehard Wayne fans than exciting to everyone, and the film looks embarrassingly ornamental with its naked display of touristy backdrops. Still, Brannigan is a slick tribute to the staying power of an American icon. --Tom Keogh

 awsome!!!!!!!!! November 11, 2009
David H. Wilkerson (missouri)
Great Duke film. Not as good as Mcq, but a good movie. 1 of only 2 movies where the Duke plays a cop.
 John Wayne being John Wayne. June 28, 2009

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! June 9, 2008
Peter D. Page (Wickenburg, AZ USA)
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.

Happy to find this Good & Humious story for a hard Cop from the States In England. It is a good addition to my John Wayne Collection.
