A story of a cop from the USA who is on a case that takes him to London,not just a cop but Brannigan played by John Wayne.The film is tailored to suit the John Wayne image,no one filled the screen like the Duke ,when he's on screen its him you watch.This is 1970s John Wayne where the image is played up to,some good dialogue,the pub fight scene and no love interest.The love interest is replaced by a fatherly attitude towards Judy Geeson a young police woman.Fans of blackadder will spot Tony Robinson getting thrown in the thames.The Duke has a double for the fight scene in the pub which might have gone un noticed at the time but shows on DVD.The film is not classic John Wayne bot passes the time entertainingly.Richard Attenborough,John Vernon and James Booth play their parts well.A film that celebrates the image of John Wayne,he had turned down Dirty Harry,as too violent for him,here the violence is non graphic appealing to the family audiences who flocked to his movies.Please put the kettle on,a few biscuits sit back and enjoy a star in the twilight of his career.Duke we miss you.God bless America.
