Description of this French Connection Poster
The French Connection is a 1971 American crime film directed by William Friedkin. The screenplay, written by Ernest Tidyman, is based on the 1969 book of the same name by Robin Moore. It tells the story of New York police detectives Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle and Buddy "Cloudy" Russo, whose Real-life counterparts were narcotics detectives Eddie Egan and Sonny Grosso, in pursuit of wealthy French heroin trafficker Alain Charnier. The film stars Gene Hackman as Popeye, Roy Scheider as Cloudy, and Fernando Rey as Charnier. Tony Lo Bianco and Marcel Bozzuffi are also on the bill.
At the 44th Academy Awards, the film won Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor (Hackman), Best Director (Friedkin), Best Editing, and Best Adapted Screenplay (Tidyman). It was nominated for Best Supporting Actor (Scheider), Best Cinematography and Best Sound Mixing. Tidyman was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award, a Writers Guild of America Award, and an Edgar Award for his screenplay. A sequel, French Connection II, followed in 1975 with Gene Hackman and Fernando Rey reprising their roles.
The French Connection is considered one of the greatest films ever made. The American Film Institute included the film in its list of Best American Films in 1998 and again in 2007. In 2005, the film was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry , because it is "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant".
