What happens

Madigan's Millions (Italian: Un dollaro per 7 vigliacchi, Spanish: El Millón de Madigan) is a 1968 Italian-Spanish comedy crime film directed by Giorgio Gentili as Stanley Prager and produced by Sidney W. Pink. The movie was shot in 1966, but was not released for two years. The film is in the lowbrow comedy genre, with comic stop-action chase scenes, as well as many scenes involving spaghetti Western-style gunplay on the streets of Rome. Hoffman's Fister is a naive and mild-mannered bureaucrat with a sense for sniffing out phonies. The interiors of the film were shot largely in Spain, with exteriors in Rome.
