Gaulle, the bestselling novel by Frederick Forsyth
was a prime candidate for screen adaptation.
Director Fred Zinnemann brought his veteran skills
to bear on what has become a timeless classic of
screen suspense. Not to be confused with the later
remakeThe Jackalstarring Bruce Willis (which
shamelessly embraced all the bombast that
Zinnemann so wisely avoided), this 1973 thriller
opts for lethal elegance and low-key tenacity in
the form of the Jackal, the suave assassin played
with consummate British coolness by Edward Fox.
He's a killer of the highest order, a master of
disguise and international elusiveness, and this
riveting film follows his path to de Gaulle with
an intense, straightforward documentary style.
Perhaps one of the last great films from a bygone
age of pure, down-to-basics suspense (and a kind
of debonair European alternative to the American
grittiness ofThe French Connection),The Day of the
Jackalis a cat-and-mouse thriller that keeps you
on the edge of your seat until its brilliantly
executed final scene (pardon the pun), by which
time Fox has achieved cinematic immortality as one
of the screen's most memorable killers.--Jeff
Shannon

A Classic Thriller Not To Be Missed

Advantages: Gripping, entertaining and memorable.
Disadvantages: Not for special effects fans.

This 1973 movie based on the novel by the excellent Frederick Forsyth is one of the most watchable pieces of cinema in motion picture history. Starring Edward Fox as the would be assassin of France's President De Gaulle the film tracks "The Jackal's" progress towards pulling the trigger as he makes his way through various locations whilst continually changing his identity so to keep at least one step ahead of the pursuing police and investigative ...
...Interwoven into this plot is a certain amount of espionnage and a now somewhat nostalgic look back at what certain places, fashions, cars etc looked like back in the early 1970s as many of the scenes are shot outside on location in busy main streets in major European cities. This is a truly gripping thriller and one of those films that almost makes you feel as if you are standing inside the film itself observing what is going on. The plot, screenplay ...
