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.

    Fun City, just the way I remember it....

    Fun City, just the way I remember it, skyscrapers and everything. The City back then was a tough, gritty place full of tough, gritty characters and this film perfectly captures it. Gene Hackman deservedly received the Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Popeye Doyle as an out-of-control cop who will stop at nothing to get the bad guys. The cast of actors includes Roy Scheider, Fernando Rey, Tony Lo Bianco and Eddie Egan and Sonny Grosso (the real Popeye and Cloudy). This flick also has one of the two best car chase scenes ever (Bullett being the other). A great movie to watch with the guys.
