Brannigan film poster by Robert McGinnis Directed by Douglas Hickox Produced by Arthur Garnder Jules Levy executive producer: Michael Wayne Written by Michael Butler Christopher Trumbo Starring John Wayne Richard Attenborough Judy Geeson Mel Ferrer John Vernon Ralph Meeker Daniel Pilon Music by Dominic Frontiere Cinematography Gerry Fisher Editing by Malcolm Cooke Studio Levy-Gardner-Laven Wellborn Distributed by United Artists Release date(s) March 26, 1975 Running time 111 minutes Country  USA Language English Brannigan (1975) British action film set in London, directed by Douglas Hickox, and starring John Wayne and Richard Attenborough. It tells the story of a Chicago detective sent to Britain to organise the extradition of an American mobster (John Vernon). After turning down the role of Dirty Harry,[1] and seeing the subsequent success of the film Wayne made two police thrillers in quick succession. After McQ he made this "cop out of water" film in the same vein as Clint Eastwood's Coogan's Bluff. Contents 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Production 4 References 5 External links Plot Tough Chicago cop Jim Brannigan (John Wayne) is sent to London to extradite a notorious American gangster, Ben Larkin (John Vernon). Brannigan is assigned a local officer, Jennifer (Judy Geeson), to help while he is in London. Before he can collect him Larkin is kidnapped, by Mel Fields (Mel Ferrer) and Brannigan spends the rest of the film running around London in search of Larkin. Whilst struggling to adapt to the British way of life, and the restrained style of policing, he employs techniques not usually seen in Britain. In the meantime, a contract has been put out on Brannigan's life by Larkin to prevent him from being extradited to the United States. The contract is picked up by Gorman (Daniel Pilon). Commander Swann (Richard Attenborough), in charge of helping Brannigan get Larkin to America, is a stuffy, upper class, Metropolitan Police Commander who's not afraid to get his hands dirty. There is continual conflict between Brannigan and Swann about Brannigan's carrying, and use of, his handgun. Cast John Wayne as Lt. James Brannigan Richard Attenborough as Commander Swann Mel Ferrer as Mel Fields Judy Geeson as Jennifer John Vernon as Ben Larkin Daniel Pilon as Gorman Ralph Meeker as Captain Moretti Lesley-Anne Down as Luana Barry Dennen as Julian John Stride as Insp. Michael Traven James Booth as Charlie-the-Handle Arthur Batanides as Angell Pauline Delaney as Mrs. Cooper (as Pauline Delany) Del Henney as Drexel Brian Glover as Jimmy-the-Bet Don Henderson as Geef Production The film is notable for its well-executed action sequences, including a spectacular car chase through Battersea's Shaftesbury Estate, Wandsworth and Central London featuring Brannigan jumping a yellow Ford Capri coupe across the half raised Tower Bridge. One sequence features shots of the interior and exterior of London's famous Royal Automobile Club, which has changed little since the shooting of the film. Conversely, the film's opening sequence and first several minutes display Chicago roadways, riverside buildings and an early O'Hare Terminal 1 that have all been replaced. For example, a squad car is seen making the former turn on Upper Lake Shore Drive where East Wacker Drive now exists. The 300 block of North Canal Street, where Brannigan conducts an investigation using "enhanced interrogation techniques", rapidly developed between this film, Doctor Detroit, and Raw Deal. In the scene when Brannigan and Cmdr. Swann are at the bar in the Garrick Club (known as the actors' club), there is a portrait of Sir Laurence Olivier in Garrick Club tie.[2] After a Chicago Police officer was depicted in a less than flattering light in an episode of the 1957-1960 television series, M Squad, then-Mayor Richard J. Daley thereafter discouraged motion picture and television location filming in the city for the rest of his administration and its aftermath. Brannigan is one of the few films approved and granted police assistance during the two-decade era. Some of the music featured was cut up to form the jingle backings for the Euroscope Marketing "Single Jingles" series for DJ's.[citation needed] References ^ Dowell, Pat. - "John Wayne, Man and Myth". - (book review of: John Wayne, American by Randy Roberts and James S.
