Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
William Friedkin's classic policier was propelled to box-office glory, and a fistful of Oscars, in 1972 by its pedal-to-the-metal filmmaking and fashionably cynical attitude toward law enforcement. Gene Hackman's Popeye Doyle, a brutally pushy New York City narcotics detective, is a dauntless crime fighter and Vietnam-era "pig," a reckless vulgarian whose antics get innocent people killed. Loosely based upon an actual investigation that led to what was then the biggest heroin seizure in U.S. history, the picture traces the efforts of Doyle and his partner (Roy Scheider) to close the pipeline pumping Middle Eastern smack into the States through the French port of Marseilles. (The actual French Connection cops, Eddie Egan and Sonny Grosso, make cameo appearances.) It was widely recognized at the time that Friedkin had lifted a lot of his high-strung technique from the Costa-Gavras thrillers The Sleeping Car Murders and Z--he even imported one of Costa-Gavras's favorite thugs, Marcel Bozzuffi, to play the Euro-trash hit man plugged by Doyle in an elevated train station. There was an impressive official sequel in 1975, French Connection II, directed by John Frankenheimer, which took Popeye to the south of France and got him hooked on horse. A couple of semi-official spinoffs followed, The Seven-Ups, which elevated Scheider to the leading role, and Badge 373, with Robert Duvall stepping in as the pugnacious flatfoot. --David Chute

The color scheme that was used for this Blu-ray product looks unnatural and is not true to the original film. The color changes are so pathetic that the Blu-ray production should be called "The French Disconnection"

I was 7 or 8 yrs old at that time during the actual screening of this version . I can`t understand the whole thing at the time, now I`m 49 yrs old and begun to wonder and understand that drug dealing is more dangerous b4 than at present, with a very dedicated cop as Gene Hackman, if only this film be shwn to the present police set up, only then they can ralize how the power of the will can turn or pin down criminals. I appreciate what Gene Hackman had portrayed in this film. I salute him. I wonder ... Read More

One of the classic cop movies of all time. Keeps moving with plenty of action. Never forgot the name Popeye Doyle.

The absolute brillance of French Connection is not the story, a pretty straightforward one about an obseesed cop and a drug dealer. The absolutle brillance is in the story telling.
From the word go, we do not follow the story as much as feel it. Detectives Doyle and Grasso start their tail of a drug dealer on a hunch late at night and this extends-unexpectedly-to morning. Both detectives are cold and tired, told by the slow walks and rubbing of worn eyes. "Its eight in the morning." Grasso ... Read More

The second DVD- "Making Of The French Connection" really adds a lot of depth the particulars of making this film.
