Solid but not great Earp western
Until the release of Costner's Wyatt Earp and Russell's Tombstone, this was probably the most realistic and unglamorized retelling of the Earp/Clanton feud. The casting is solid with James Garner as a conflicted Earp, and Jason Robards fairly steals the film as Doc Holiday. It purports to tell the story "the way it happened", but there are a lot of inaccuracies that Earp historians can spot. The opening OK corral shootout was played as it was, quick and dirty.
There are major errors in the later story such as Earp killing Clanton in a final showdown (never happened), and the showdowns with various Clanton henchmen by in large did not happen the way it was portryed here. Doc is portrayed as being a northerner and much older than the young southerner which he was.
That said, Garner, Robards,Robert Ryan and a host of great western character actors and stars to be make this very watchable. The musical score is catchy and it is a western worth your time. The parting scene of Wyatt and Doc is very well done. Garner is very good as a driven Wyatt Earp.

What Happened After the OK Corral
The HOUR OF THE GUN is a remarkable achievement for its time, following the exploits of Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and company AFTER the gunfight at the OK Corral ... and it's fascinating.

Jason Robards plays a wonderfully subdued Doc Holliday, almost to the point of trying to remain Wyatt's moral voice.

In a surprising turn, James Garner turns in a dynamic performance as the stiff-laced Wyatt, who won't rest until justice for the death of his brother has been avenged.

This film serves as a companion piece to THE GUNFIGHT AT THE OK CORRAL (wildly inaccurate in most of its depictions), and it succeeds admirably in attempting to set the record straight.

But, there's still the Johnny Ringo bit ...

While a VHS purchase may work well for some Wyatt and Doc purists, I'm holding out for a DVD widescreen version, hopefully with some extras for those of us who believe good things come to those who wait.

Very good continuation of OK Corral Movie
I like this movie. I thought it was a very good continuation to the GUNFIGHT AT THE OK CORRAL. It has great performances and a good score by Jerry Goldsmith. A good "lost" Western.

Robards plays the best Doc Holiday ever
This version of the whole Wyatt Earp, OK Corral story is the grimiest. Garner is a cold, vengeful killer hiding behind the guise of a lawman, while Robards is his drunk, burnt out friend. Unlike the other Earp stories, this one is deep. It isn't just another western. Its a great movie, all around.

Boys vs. Men
This film is a classic Western.Garner and Robarbs are tough,intelligent men.The script is the best of all the movies about the Earps.Compared to this movie,"Tombstone"'s Russell and Kilmer are more like boys trying to look tough and Costner's film is tiresome self-worship.The final reel of this film speaks to the closing of the old West more sadly and eloquently than any I have ever seen. ...

A favorite two-hour escape.
The elements of the Flint formula really came together for the first time in this, the sequel to OUR MAN FLINT. James Coburn's superspy Flint inhabits a world somewhat more distant from reality than James Bond. Flint doesn't save the world for a living; it's more of a hobby, along with bullfighting, cooking, martial arts, desert survival, ballet, scientific research, and who knows what else. From the beginning to the final hairbreadth escape Flint is having fun, and so are we--Coburn seldom loses his infectious smile. The story stresses lighthearted adventure over real danger (come to think of it, I don't recall the bad guys ever actually killing anyone). But three decades later, the amazing thing about this movie is its progressive view of women and male-female relationships. The female characters are capable without losing their feminity. (And--who'd have thought it?--Flint has a few genuine words of wisdom on getting along with the opposite sex: "I don't compete with them.") My favorite moment in the movie is Jean Hale rolling her eyes after Flint lights a woman's cigarette--watch for it! Why only four stars? Let's be real here. This is a fun movie, but it's no CITIZEN KANE.

In Man Flint
This is the sequel to Our Man Flint, another spy-themed flick starring suave, hip, super-spy Flint as a secret agent with all of Bond's moves and more. . . or not. Derrick Flint is surely a man who gets the job done when it comes to being a secret government agent. . . but, hip and suave? Well let's just say he is no match for James Bond. James Coburn plays agent Flint and don't be fooled by his tall and lanky appearance; all you spy-spoof fans will still get what you expect. Yes, he still gets the girls, saves the world, and manages to show off his keen martial arts skills while doing so. Although Coburn did learn martial arts from Bruce Lee, he doesn't exactly appear as graceful. . . but then again neither did Diana Rigg with her Judo chops in the Avengers series (she sure did look cute, though). In case you don't remember the first one, Flint had been called out from retirement after he spoiled the infiltration of Kremlin in Our Man Flint, but now it was time for this dangerous man to settle down. Well, apparently, a group of beautiful woman has decided to overthrow the government using subliminal brainwashing in beauty salons. Who else is there but Flint to stop this diabolical scheme, and so we get another taste of "our man flint". Although there is not much originality in the film and the script lacks a bit in both its comedic and dramatic attempts, I will say that there are some pretty alluring visuals. Take the girls for instance. . . they are all sexy and look ultra-hip. The furniture in the film is ultra groovy and just watching Coburn trying to appear slick forces me to watch and giggle. He may not be agent OO7, but if your looking for amusement espionage style, this is the way to go.

Great Bond Spoof
This was the best bond parody until Austin Powers came out, but none the less, it is a great movie. From his many luscious women in skimpy outfits to his lighter that can do over 80 different things, James Coburn as Derek Flint is one of the best ever pretend spies. This is a truly classic spy spoof and everyone needs to see it, because it is Austin Powers' favorite movie!

Okay, yes, it's ludicrously sexist
Nevertheless, it's the best "Bond" parody to come along, better even than its predecessor. After all, where else can you find a film where the incredibly prescient secret agent muses on the awful possibilities of "an actor as president"?

Flint does it again!
Derek Flint is one of a kind with his gadgets, beautiful girls, Karate, Ballet dancing, deductive mind plus sheer audacity, extreme resourcefulness and extreme coolness under fire. After Flint, well, Bond is kind of...boring if you know what I mean. Lee J. Cobb is very funny as his Boss and you even get to see him in drag at one point. No, he's not a poofter but he is in disguise. At the start, Lee J. Cobb is set up by the sexy No.2 henchwoman in a honey trap after being drugged with a powerful narcotic in an Italian restaurant. Discredited and suspended, he desperately calls for Flint's help. Derek comes to the rescue of Cramden with exciting and hilarious results. James Coburn in a send up of Fidel Castro is super and must not be missed. The fight scene is very exciting and in real life, James Coburn had martial arts training from Bruce Lee himself, and it shows. The Karate is Hollywood showy but can be used in real life and death situations. The two big fight scenes are very well done. With bare hands and improvised weapons, Flint overcomes all. I just love the scene when his Boss asks him what happened to the 4 girls he used to have and Flint answers nonchalantly, "I'm trying to cut down". In the story,the President of the USA is replaced by a look alike under the control of the real No.1 bad guy. Shades of Saddam Hussein! The women think they have everything in control but it is the US Army officer who they think are under their thumb that has the upper hand. Not for long when Our Man Flint appears and soon all the bad guys get what they so richly deserve. The world is saved by a super hero. Can one man make a difference? YES! There are times throughout history when one man can and has made a difference.The scene where Flint in a delightful sendup of Fiel Castro hijacks the Russian plane enroute to Havana is great! He pretends to give 2 live chickens to the pilots and then ties them up, literally. Flint then infiltrates by parachute the enemy base in the Virgin Islands!The finale is somewhat unbelievable but entertaining nonetheless as Woman Power overcomes all the male bad guys. Men have one terrible weakness unless they are poofs and that is their testosterone. A beautifully seductive girl leaves them weak kneed and malleable. Deadlier than the male indeed. See it soon. It'll make your day.By Dr. Michael Lim The Travelling Gourmet ... Read more

Early FUZZ feature -a Sleeper setting pace for TV cop shows!
FUZZ is a forgotten classic.Reynolds is just one of the stars, not the only one in this fun movie. Sets the pace for the early TV cop shows to come. Welch is beautiful and all the cast are wonderful.Edited for TV, the original feature movie had Detectives Skerrit and Welch in a sleeping bag scene in a park as man and wife, as they wait for a crook to show up. She says,"wow, is that your gun?" Another scene when a telephone man is putting in a tap for a black detective and says to him."Yeah, you are a pretty good Ni....,unlike so many others I have known." That is a shocker , especially at the time of the release..the black detective follows the phone man off camera and and you hear a smack, and knockout blow.And Brynner as the main thug boss and Detective chief Jack Weston are both suprises. Fast moving with lots of things going on and one of my all time favorites that was originally slammed when originally released. If you haven't seen it, you are in for a treat!(--and be sure to keep your eye on the painters!)

A must see for fans of the "87th Precinct".
Ed McBain's long running series of mystery novels (from 1957 to this year!) about the quirky cops of an inner city precinct comes to glorious life in this movie.Quite funny in places, with suprising spurts of violence, a very well done movie!Note: When this movie aired on ABC back in the 70's, it recieved a lot of flack for inspiring a real-life violent incident in Boston, causing more nattering about the "violence on TV". ...

Easiest of scenarios
I agree with everything that's been said, and I'd also look to mention the completely lack of conflict within the movie. It's amazing, there's almost nothing to work against, and very little tension. Maybe it's because we know now that space flight was possible, but it's still amazing to see a movie about the moon landing where the plotline is: We wanted to go the moon, we trained to go the moon, and then we landed on the moon. There's about five minutes there where it looks like James Caan isn't going to find the docking station on the moon and die from a lack of oxygen...but then he turns around, and oh yeah! There it is! Just behind me.

Totally different style, but the only other movie I can think of like this is "Payback," where Mel Gibson just kind of walks in and starts kicking .... He never gets capture, never gets put in trouble, just kinda shoots his way through to the final boss.

I wonder if the simplistic linearity of this film was created by the studio's re-edit of the film, or if that's largely true to Altman's idea? During the last five minutes of the film, as the character announces that he has five minutes of oxygen left and doesn't see the docking station, I thought it was going to be an Altmanesque last-minutes-to-live-final-soliloquy ending. But no. The space station was there all along. All you had to do with click your heels together, three times...

A Science Factual Film.
Intelligently written screenplay and good acting cast led by James Caan and Robert Duvall are the highlights of this 1968 film (made only about a year before the United States actually landed a man on the moon) of the first American NASA mission to the moon. Complete with the then up to date technology and training that astronauts needed to go through in getting ready for the mission. Good film for people interested in the early days of NASA and the early Eagle and Apollo missions. Directed by Robert Altman. Produced by William Conrad. Music by Leonard Rosenman.

Rated 5 for Fun!
Seeing this movie as we are, far from era it was made in, makes for quite hokey fun for a few reasons. It's a great encapsulation of that era illustrating the fashions, modern architecture, modes of thinking, scientific fervor, (great cocktail parties!), and the roles of men and women at that time. In other words, everyone was young, smart, modern, knew their place in the world, and we were going to the moon! The script is kind of hard to follow at times, and the rivalry between the two main charactors gets kind of goofy in places, but the overlapping dialog in many of the conflicts makes the script at least seem earnest. The special effects are OK, but they forgot to film one part on the moon in slow-mo to make the gravity seem accurate--looks dopey. All in all, for those who like movies that are fictional time capsules of the Space Age, I believe you'll find this movie fun to watch.

TERRIFIC SPECIAL EFFECTS
THIS FILM IS NOT WORTH WATCHING FOR ENTERTAINMENT,BUT WELL WORTH WATCHING FOR IT'S TERRIFIC SPECIAL EFFECTS.IT'S A FICTIONALIZED STORY ABOUT THE FIRST AMERICAN LANDING ON THE MOON.THIS IS ONE OF ROBERT ALTMAN'S EARLIEST FILMS. ... Read more

60's police drama...
New York City detectives Madigan (Richard Widmark) and Bonaro (Harry Guardino), mess up making a routine arrest, allowing a murderer (Steve Ihnat) to escape. This sets the stage for a look at the activities of the NYPD over a three-day period, while the two detectives try to recapture their man.

"Madigan" follows two loosely connected story lines, one the pursuit of the fugitive, and the second involves the activities of the Police Commissioner (PC), played by a prim Henry Fonda. This separation of focus, keeps the movie from reaching it's full potential, as the story elements related to the PC are banal and distract from the chase. There is almost no personal interaction between Madigan and the Commissoner to connect the two stories, and keep the movie's focus tight. While the detectives follow leads to the killer, the PC deals with corruption, accusations of misconduct, and his own moral hypocrisy.

The film does boast a top-notch cast, including Inger Stevens, James Whitmore, Michael Dunn, Don Stroud, Susan Clark and Sheree North. Ihnat is particularly effective as the vicious killer on the run. Stevens is luscious as Madigan's attention starved wife. And Clark is the Commissioner's adulterous young mistress. "Love", Hollywood style is wonderfully realistic, matching the young with the old. Widmark (54) is paired with Stevens (34), and Fonda (63) with Clark (28).

"Madigan" is dated, and may not be well received by today's audience. What was gritty action back then, is tame by today's standards. But if you are into the late 60's, you will probably enjoy the many familiar faces found here. Brought to you by the same people who did the NBC Mystery Theater, and programs like Colombo, McCloud, McMillian, and Banacek.

'Madigan' is enjoyable police drama
As others have noted, "Madigan" is at its best in basic cops-and-robbers mode, when Detectives Dan Madigan (Richard Widmark) and Rocco Bennaro (Harry Guardino) are pursuing insanely dangerous gunman Barney Benesch (Steve Ihnat). Director Don Siegel knows what he's doing when it comes to movement and violence, and that's more than evident here.

A subplot involving the embattled police commissioner (Henry Fonda) and his struggle with possible graft on the part of his long-time friend and captain (James Whitmore) works reasonably well.

The commissioner's affair with a married woman (Susan Clark) isn't too much of a distraction, especially since Clark is nice to look at, as usual.

But the subplot that doesn't work is the unhappiness of Madigan's wife (Inger Stevens). Stevens does what she can to bring the woman to life, but the script defeats her, particularly in a scene following a police ball.

Production values are very high, as 1968 New York emerges vividly in the location shooting. Don Costa's score deserves to be released on CD - it's a very memorable and exciting one, especially the main title and the build-up to the climax.

The nitty gritty of police work.

Originally planned to be titled "The Commissioner," Fonda thought he had the title role, but it was re-titled Madigan, Widmark's part, which miffed Fonda who had an ego problem. However, he had played five movies with Widmark, whom he liked and respected, so he swallowed his ego. But it always bothered him that he had been relegated to the second string.

This is the story about policemen and their wives, friends, and colleagues. A good friend and coworker once told me that prison work involved weeks, months, and often years of boredom interspersed with moments of sheer terror. He was right. This movie, and most such films, show a succession of the "moments of sheer terror" pretty much to the exclusion of the boredom, because boredom does not make a good story, of course.

Still, the stress and pressure are relatively constant, and that is perhaps why the divorce rate among peace officers is so high. This story graphically depicts how the policemens' marriages suffer from the stress. In that respect, it accurately depicts, I think, one slice of reality. I base my opinion on twenty years spent working in prisons--a differenct occupation, but similar in many ways.

Daniel Madigan and Rosco Bonaro are detectives--partners--who, while making a bust allow the crook to get the drop on them, get their weapons, and get away. They are given 72 hours to catch him. It turns out that he has been upgraded from a suspect to a killer. The Police Commissioner, Anthony Russell (Henry Fonda) is most interested in the case and under pressure himself, maritally as well as professionally.

This film was, accidentally or on purpose, a good portrayal of some of the aspects of a policeman's life, although when the dangers are so telegraphed together for the sake of the story, it does have the effect of making it a caricature of reality, rather than the true depiction of reality it purports to be.

Nevertheless, I recommend the film.

GOLD STANDARD FOR ITS TIME
Richard Dougherty's THE COMMISSIONER, upon which MADIGAN, is based was one of the first works of fiction to accurately portray cops problems away from the station house. MADIGAN, one of the best films of 1968, is true to that part of the book and Don Siegel implants his own brand of genius on the rest. MADIGAN shows a not too distant era when there were blood-and-guts hat wearing detectives who worked their own angles to solve their cases. The portrayls by Widmark and Guardino are lasting and solid to the core. For it's time, MADIGAN was a gold standard in police procedurals. The NYC landscape bolstered by the Don Costa soundtrack is stunning.

Journeyman Cop Movie.
One can only wonder what might have been made of a pretty good story with a great cast and director if it had been made somewhere other than the Universal factory which churned out more garbage over the decades than practically any other studio.

Constrained by the loosening but not yet free film-making environment of 1968, Don Siegel keeps the film moving at a brisk pace while alternating his story from the efforts of two detectives (Richard Widmark & Harry Guardino) with 48 hrs to redeem themselves after losing the drop-on and their guns to a suspect, and the political and personal problems of the NY Police Commissioner (Henry Fonda). This view of the street cops who can and will bend the rules and the politics and stresses at the top of the beauracracy was fresh in 1968, but have been done to death since with the result that Madigan seems tame and dated now. While a little tougher in depiction for its time, and aided by location shooting and a tad more sexual explicitness, the movie is quaintly on that cusp between the sanitized early 60's and the explosion of explicit sex and violence in film that was yet to come. It bends the stereotypes but it doesn't break them.

Still and all, Don Siegel was a director that could move a story, and no film with Richard Widmark, Henry Fonda, James Whitmore and Inger Stevens is without interest or merit. I was still entertained and found the characters & story very watchable, but I could only wish for a different studio and a later time that would have allowed for a grittier and more honest film. Nonetheless, it was a solid effort and had something to say about the dilemmas and conflicts of loyalty and honesty and doing the right thing. A good film at 3-1/2 stars that with this cast & story, might have been much better. ... Read more

There was bound to be a Flint sequel, and this one delivers the same kind of zany fun as its predecessor, Our Man Flint. Flint is recruited once again by Lee J. Cobb to be the government's top secret agent, this time to solve a mishap involving the President. Turns out, the Chief Executive has been replaced by an evil duplicate. The new plan for world domination involves feminine aggression, and Flint, with his overpowering charisma, is just the man to turn the hostile forces around. In Like Flint is still over the top, but some of the novelty has worn off, and it doesn't have quite the same edge as the original. Even Jerry Goldsmith's score is a bit more subdued. But the film still has James Coburn and that funny phone. --Bill Desowitz ... Read more

Great Bond Spoof
This was the best bond parody until Austin Powers came out, but none the less, it is a great movie. From his many luscious women in skimpy outfits to his lighter that can do over 80 different things, James Coburn as Derek Flint is one of the best ever pretend spies. This is a truly classic spy spoof and everyone needs to see it, because it is Austin Powers' favorite movie!

Okay, yes, it's ludicrously sexist
Nevertheless, it's the best "Bond" parody to come along, better even than its predecessor. After all, where else can you find a film where the incredibly prescient secret agent muses on the awful possibilities of "an actor as president"?

Flint does it again!
Derek Flint is one of a kind with his gadgets, beautiful girls, Karate, Ballet dancing, deductive mind plus sheer audacity, extreme resourcefulness and extreme coolness under fire.

Discredited and suspended, he desperately calls for Flint's help. Derek comes to the rescue of Cramden with exciting and hilarious results. James Coburn in a send up of Fidel Castro is super and must not be missed. The fight scene is very exciting and in real life, James Coburn had martial arts training from Bruce Lee himself, and it shows. The Karate is Hollywood showy but can be used in real life and death situations. The two big fight scenes are very well done. With bare hands and improvised weapons, Flint overcomes all. I just love the scene when his Boss asks him what happened to the 4 girls he used to have and Flint answers nonchalantly, "I'm trying to cut down". In the story,the President of the USA is replaced by a look alike under the control of the real No.1 bad guy. Shades of Saddam Hussein! The women think they have everything in control but it is the US Army officer who they think are under their thumb that has the upper hand. Not for long when Our Man Flint appears and soon all the bad guys get what they so richly deserve. The world is saved by a super hero. Can one man make a difference? YES! There are times throughout history when one man can and has made a difference.The scene where Flint in a delightful sendup of Fiel Castro hijacks the Russian plane enroute to Havana is great! He pretends to give 2 live chickens to the pilots and then ties them up, literally. Flint then infiltrates by parachute the enemy base in the Virgin Islands!The finale is somewhat unbelievable but entertaining nonetheless as Woman Power overcomes all the male bad guys.
