Brannigan
Definitely "McQ", he is speaking to Eddie Albert's character in this scene.

Not sure about Duke in a cop role, its although he was pushed into 'dirty Harry' territory, never looked comfortable in the role to me
That said, all inall,not a bad movie, but not one of the best
This movie does not resemble a "Dirty Harry" movie, I also don't think it was supposed to, its also clear Duke is comfortable within the role he seems to be really enjoying it.

I also enjoyed this movie as well as the music. Wasn't that Dimitri?
I believe it was Bernstein.

I absolutely love this movie, a true John Wayne gem and one that is not appreciated by all quarters.

This is one my favorite John Wayne films, although it is nowhere near his best I thoroughly enjoy this movie. I can watch it many times in a row and not get tired of it, his chemistry with John Hammond is excellent they should have made more movies together. And as an added bonus The Hitman played by Daniel Pilon also terrorized Hulk Hogan in my favorite Hogan movie The Ultimate Weapon.
Do you mean Richard Attenborough instead of John Hammond, as I am unaware of any actor within this movie called Hammond.

Hi Mike
In the version of Brannigan that I have it is never revealed what Brannigans son told him via the telephone conversation. The scene simply ends with Brannigan stating to Swann 'I wish it were Christmas, have I got some kind of a present for you'. My version also does not show the tracker being slipped into the suitcase. Is my version short some scenes?

I agree again with you although I was never able to establish how Duke and Attenborough foiled the kidnappers plans and were even able to put a tracer in the building at the end.

This in my humble opinion is one of John Waynes most overlooked movies. It is sandwhiched between the awful Rooster Coburn and the reasonable but ultimately inferior McQ.
The movie is slick, well acted and directed, features a host of well known British actors and is extremly enjoyable. If you haven't watched it already make a point of doing so, and while it may not be as good as 'Dirty Harry' its certainly much better than the four 'Dirty Harry' sequels.

Hi Keith
Anything on the cutting room floor with regards to this movie?.

I have said for quite some time that this is a very good movie, after The Shootist and cowboys it is Dukes best movie of the 1970's. The change of location is refreshing and its nice to see many recognised British actors involved in the proceedings.
Some great scenes include:
A slick and well directed car chase
Nice pub brawl
A excellent shooout at the end.
Duke and Attenborough battling it out with each other.For me personally his age is not a factor and it disappoints me to here some do have a problem with it.
I would give this movie a solid 7.5/10 its very well made and acted and it makes me wish that Duke had made one more cop movie after this.
