I f...You should do a post. I'd love to see it.<br /><br />I forgive the bit about re-assembling the car because i read the book and know what they did was replace it with an identical Lincoln, right down to the drugs inside. The Frenchman never noticed it was a different car, I suppose because it wasn't his car in the first place. <br /><br />Another cool anecdote from that scene: Irv, the guy who helps Popeye tear the car apart, was played by Irv, the guy who actually tore the car apart.Dana Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350344882342624735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045057682441280238.post-62661213766552224192020-08-30T11:35:15.790-07:002020-08-30T11:35:15.790-07:00FRENCH CONNECTION is one of my all time favorites,...FRENCH CONNECTION is one of my all time favorites, too, Dana. When I first saw it, I thought it the fastest paced movie I’d ever watched. I just saw it again last month, and it is still fast paced. Your notes are good ones – and they don’t spoil the movie. But parking the car in a crummy part of town was always a head scratcher. But more than that, how about the cops getting the car back together again and returning in a matter of hours? Popeye and Cloudy spotting the “wrong” table at the nightclub, then following Sal and Angie to their luncheonette hooks me in every time. And how about The Three Degrees singing at the nightclub? So much more to say – I’ll have to do my own post. Elgin Bleeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417587392887691664noreply@blogger.com
