IFWT #120 - The French Connection (1971) [ft. retired NYPD Det. Jason Allison]
Update: 2025-05-08
Description
The French Connection was a departure for director William Friedkin. After the BO failure of The Boys in the Band, he pivoted, and put his learned skills to the emerging zeitgeist grabbing action and car chase film.
But this film, is more than its infamous chase scene, it's a terrifically gritty tale of urban decay, set amongst the backdrop of the NYPD and the drug underworld. And lucky for us, we're joined by writer Jason Allison, a retired NYPD narcotics, and homicide detective with over 20 years in the field, so you know he's gonna bring the goods!
