Brannigan

During his final years, John Wayne wanted to shed his western image and so he began portraying some multiple roles most notably as cops in "McQ" and this 1975 United Artists release. He portrays a tough Chicago cop who goes cross country and beyond to pursue a racketeer fugitive. Wayne can actually deliver some fine cop portrayals but he never got another chance after this one to do so. The following year, his next film, a western called "The Shootist" was also his last, therefore putting an end to one of Hollywood's greatest acting careers.
