About this product

Product Information

Released in the same year as Clint Eastwood's DIRTY HARRY (1971), William Friedkin's THE FRENCH CONNECTION marked the beginning of a new era of gritty, urban police dramas. Here, the theme of tough-cop amorality serves a conservative demand for a police-state crackdown on the domestic chaos and subversive youth culture of the Vietnam War period. The film is based on the true story of two New York City police detectives and their investigation into a French heroin smuggling operation. THE FRENCH CONNECTION is perhaps best known for its infamous, masterfully filmed chase scene (influenced by Peter Yates' BULLITT) in which the lead policeman, Popeye Doyle (Gene Hackman), recklessly drives a stolen car through oncoming traffic in pursuit of a sniper escaping by elevated train. The thrill of this crime drama is accentuated by director William Friedkin's early European influences, perhaps best represented by the handheld documentary-style visuals and Friedkin's claims that the Oscar-winning screenplay was frequently disregarded in favor of improvisation. THE FRENCH CONNECTION marked not only a significant change of course for his career, but also a stylistic shift that all of Hollywood would soon follow.

    Regular NYC cop makes the big time with a major drug bust.

    Fantastic picture of the 1970s. One of Gene Hackman's best ever.

    Re-connecting:

    What an awsome DVD set. The second one, with the special fetures, shows what older films looked like, upon viewing in theaters [or TV]. There were some very interresting scenes cut out'a this flick, too! And this stuff was all based on a true story, which makes it all the-more intrigueing. It's a shame- how lax laws sometimes are, against hardened, violent criminals :o
