Last night on Turner Classic Movies, I watched my all time favorite actor, Gene Hackman in
The French Connection' 71 hadn't seen it in years,He plays Detective' Popeye Doyle',along with his partner' Det Buddy Russo"{Roy Schneider} as NYC narcotic detectives who stumble upon international heroin ring and try to stop it.It had one of the most amazing car scenes ever filmed. Gene usually did most of his stunts,really couldn't tell if it was him or his stunt double in the car others in the cast:
Fernando Rey,Tony Lobianco, Eddie Egan,Sonny Grosso The movie won 5 Oscars inc picture,director{William Fredkin} actor{Hackman's 1st Oscar},screenplay/editing
