McQ (1974)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 111m
Director: John Sturges
Cast: John Wayne, Eddie Albert, Diana Muldaur
Synopsis:
A Seattle police lieutenant investigates a mass shooting of officers in which a former friend appears to have been both perpetrator and victim. His enquiries get him into trouble for his old-fashioned strong-arm methods, but he uncovers what appears to be a racket in confiscated narcotics on the part of certain members of the force.
Review:
Soporific Dirty Harry imitator with an ageing star who would have long since retired as a cop. The corrupt police department was already a cliché by this time. A UK variant, Brannigan, followed, but it at least had a developed sense of its own preposterousness.
