French connection

In 1969, France's connection was rejected by almost every major studio, but D'Antoni established a shop in the National General Pictures.

However, the studio then withdrew the statement and the film then became a big hit.

While many filmmakers prefer to celebrate doubtful tactics and excessive action scenes, Friedkin's film is a gloomy depiction from the underworld of the drug trafficking.

They are motivated by the possibility that they have been tapped during the failed international agreement. They will then pass through Turkey and Canada to get to the United States, and from there, a group of Korsika criminals will take over. They were funded by the money stolen from the French Gestapo agent during the German occupation in France. They also received CIA assistance, providing money to get rid of Corsica Communists in 1947.

Apart from the fact that Jehan has never faced justice, this film is one of the first time a police officer must work outside the law.
