Episode 4: The French Connection (1971)
from Dave’s Movie Diary · host Dave
Today on Dave’s Movie Diary, I’m revisiting The French Connection (1971), a film that helped define the gritty, street-level crime movies of the 1970s. I discuss Gene Hackman’s unforgettable Popeye Doyle, William Friedkin’s raw directing style, the legendary chase sequence, and whether this Oscar-winning classic still packs the same punch on a modern rewatch.
