Director William Friedkin talked about France's connection at TCM on November 13, following the double features of the French connection and to live and die at L. Friedkin was a beloved director who won several Academy Awards for French connections. We will discuss the influence of film making and many film surprises. Also, see these photos from the history of the film. This review was originally published in Entertainment Weekly. This article has been updated to reflect new information.

Gene Hackman plays Eddie Egan, a character in the French connection. Hackman is based on the NYPD detective of real life narcotics, which uses the word-n-word, and he has no doubt about peeling the perpetrators. However, in the end, this film seemed to end happily for the police, which was almost not surprising. But the end of the film makes us wonder if it is finally true.

"The French Connection" is one of the most famous films based on real events. The Gangster-in-Filtration case from the 1960s, "The French Connection" described the lives of two New York City Police and their investigation of the famous cruel drug ring. In real life, the two detectives, Eddie Egan and Sonny Grosso, broke the drug ring, seized 32 million pounds of heroin, and became famous. Eddie Egan and Sonny Grosso were involved in filmmaking, and Gene Hackman played both detectives.

Another example of Friedkin's cinematic technique is the pursuit of film cars. The chase of the car, in this case, is a very rare thing in the world of CGI today. The pursuit of film cars is an amazing example of how a director can use the power of cinematic space to create visceral effects. Indeed, camera work in French connections is more real than real, and the pursuit of movie cars is more real than before.

"The french connection left over" is about the heroin smuggling business that stretches Europe. In 1937, illegal laboratories were discovered near Marseille, France, and they were operated by Korsika Gang leader Paul Carbone. The Corsican world is involved in manufacturing and heroin trade in the United States. Therefore, the organization becomes known as a "French connection".
