love this movie..........thanks for uploading....i watched this movie when i was kid but at that time i didnt really understand it,but now when i fully understood,its amazing....wow...wow........
I can't understand why this was so popular. How did they guess he was behind the window, as well screened as he was? Other than that, it was straightforward, plodding detective work, leading up to a predictable ending, and a lame "twist" epilogue. I even guessed he would get one shot and miss, they made that obvious in the ordering-the-gun scene.
The Devil's Alternative is a much better spy and suspense story, for some reason it was never famous, people like crap better.
2:19:07 How come he is trampolining backwards? I am not understanding this. This is strange indeed and in keeping with the realism of the plot. Where did he get the trampoline and more importantly, why?
The 70's was the golden age of film making. If you asked 100 random people for their favorite movies of all time, undoubtedly many would come from that decade.....
a million thank yous to whom ever took their time to share this FANTASTIC movie with the rest of us....... B R A V O !!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME X100000
I only hope young folks will watch and enjoy... And not confuse this CLASSIC FILM ...with the cheep and crappy knock off Bruce Wills piece of poop that is often confused...

When I first saw this movie in the theater I had no idea if De Gaulle was assassinated or not or how he died so this reason alone made my watching the movie even more enjoyable, not knowing whether the Jackal was going to be successful or not. Five star movie.
WHAT A MOVIE! However... 1) No resemblance between the actor, and Carlos "The Jackal", actualy in jail in France. 2) In the scene of the first meeting with the OAS characters, the Jackal forgets his raincoat. 3) Back in 1992 I went from France into Italy by the Ventimiglia Customs post. Instead of the Italians opening every suitcase, I attempted to show my passport and they told me "Go on, go on, don't stop here!"- 4) It is an old movie, everybody smokes all te time! Thanks for loading it!
@RPenta The difference is that in the USA they succed at the first attempt, most of the times. The OAS attempted to kill De Gaulle some 74092 times, and he died in his bed, of old age. That also tells something about USA and French Security Services, doesn't it? Regards
@RPenta And it's sad to know some people are so stupid they actually believe the President of the United States was killed by his own military because some guy made a movie and said so.
@tomthefunky And it is sadder to say so many people are so stupid and lazy not to know anything except the official story about that, RFK, MLK, the Vietnam War, Pearl Harbor, the Panama Invasion, the First Gulf War, Waco, the Oklahoma City Bombing, and 911 just to mention a few.
Oh, did I mention the attack on the USS Liberty and the Anthrax Attacks?
@RPenta Why stop there? How about the moon landing, crop circles, Area 51, Son Of Sam, and on and on. Did you know the government is putting mind control chemicals in the tap water?
You know what you should do? You should write your manifesto on a big piece of cardboard and stand on a street corner, because essentially the only difference between those people and you is that you have a computer.
@liambet The first could be the "Marche Lorraine", the 2nd is "Voila du Boudin", the Foreign Legion most known march. From the cavalry march I got lost, sorry. They are all here in Youtube. Regards
Totalitarian societies always had problems in the department of 'provision of culture', so we really shouldn't be surprised at the blatant degradation.
It's true they don't make good movies anymore, it's like there's a complete collapse of creativity, ideas, even feeling. Like today's music, entertainment and movies have become loud, aggressive, disturbing, catering to short-attention spanned repressed and intellectually depressed, passive stimuli-junkies. No moods, no culture, no intriguing plots...
I'm watching a lot of movies at the moment & there's little point moving beyond the early 50s-early/mid 90s period...
...necessary. How on earth would the system manage to retain and expand its control over the collective without controlling and promoting and of course benefitting from crime?
Anyway, I was wondering about the false passport issue, I don't understand how a passport could be obtained from authority under the identity of a deceased person; surely there's feedback between death registers and civil affairs delivering identity papers?
Nice movie, though of course it is quite naive to think terrorist organizations are really independent, anarchist cells, operated by an isolated collective of individuals sharing an ideology and an infrastructure for targeted action. OF COURSE organisations like the OAS were in reality set up by the system itself, just like the mob or any other form of organized crime is and always has been ultimately controlled by the powers that be. Such criminal organisations are quite 'useful', not to say...
Thanks for posting this outstanding film. One of the great thrillers from the Golden Age of the 1970s, and Edward Fox's "Jackal" is one of the best performances; very low-key, not exaggerated, yet intense. And Michel Lonsdale's performance as Inspector Lebel also nicely understated and convincing. They just don't make films like this anymore, sad to say.
@rlm6213 Totally agree, had to get my girlfriend clued in to this and the odessa file and chinatown etc. Think she loves me all the more for introducing her to these classic films!
Right. I am afraid the today movies are at first for kids and teens - they need an explosion every five seconds, nonsens stunts, car races and a bunch of bikini babes. Popcorn trash...
Fred Zinnemann was an old-school-genius of suspense.
Thanks for posting this - saw the Hollywood remake called The Jackal a few years back but this is far superior to that version. Again thanks for this!
Thank you very much for posting this video. Some of us (regardless of the cars we drive) cannot afford Netflix or phones that play Flash content. My Optimus with VM @$35 300/unlimited is my only window to the world and I am very grateful. Your efforts make sitting in a cold little room waiting for my turn so much more bearable. Thank God for You Tube, wifi and YOU!
I was always a fan of Edward Foxes english gentleman act and here he was allowed to play it with a sadistic twist, I dont think he was ever totally utilised as a lead actor really, he had alot of supporting roles in great ensemble performances but this was a rare time he got to star, note the chief of staff played opposite him in Force 10 from Navarone & also the lead french detective was Hugo Drax in James Bonds rather poor Moonraker film, the golden age of 70s Pinewood here, thanx for posting
Brilliant film. Interesting to note that despite the film being a critical success, it didn't make money, & the reason is quite simple: everything was shot on location in various European cities and that is expensive. But I can't see how they could've done it any other way & had an effective film that was true to the book. I've never met one person who didn't love this film & I'm sure the studio loved it. It just seems paradoxical that a film that's a critical success is a commercial failure.
@dzanier Eh Pisano, Your Country has brains,history.The USA has Dopes,we breed them,then put them in dumb wars to make money.The Ruling Elite,are few,the Educated loved the film,as do I.BUT the masses with the KaGing,Cash,Bucks,money,want boobs and killing,and blood,that makes money.
I admire the eye for detail in this film. Clothing, hairstyles and even the cars are correct for the sixties. The only minus is the fact that even the French are speaking English. When I was travelling through France in '73, it seemed I was the only English speaking person there besides a few Danish tourists.
@CZC899 you rock so hard! i love this film (the remake with bruce willis isn't even worth -- well, i guess i just kinda mentioned it, but you know what i mean) -- thanks for posting ;)
Fantastic film, had me glued to the monitor for the whole 2 hours 22 mins. Forsythe is a master story teller and the film did him credit. Thank you for posting it.
this jackal guy sure didnt worry about std's, i like the woman who was sleeping with the old fart to get info, but good god did you see the size of that muff, didnt any chicks back then trim/shave. ohhhhhh the humanity of it all
The German state systematically is openly using murder to suppress any opposition since at least 1919. Torture with directed energy weapons was already used in 1908, see my homepage, chapter Psychiatrie-->Zur Klinik der Narkolepsie. They also used large amounts of snitchers before ww1. There are several cases of possible murders before ww1, the most obvious being the famous Rudolf Diesel, see chapter murder on my homepage.You may have translated the texts by clicking the flags.
It is true that De Gaulle did not take the death threats seriously enough. He was quoted after one narrow squeak with an exploding car as saying, "C'est une petite plaisantrie" (It is a little joke). He was usually depicted in post-war cartoons as Louis XIV, the Sun King, who had ruled by divine right. I do not forget his very undiplomatic encouragement of the separatists on a visit to Canada: "le Québec libre!" Churchill told him he was "the man of destiny", but couldn't stand his pomposity.
Unlike many viewers, I like the Willis/Gere/Poitier remake too, but this is better in several ways. Wasn't the Citroën DS (seen at the beginning) in looks and suspension about the most beautiful car ever? And the suspension was a dream. Having the lines of an extra-terrestrial spaceship, it still looks modern today.
From the days when so called "mainstream" movies were made for an intelligent audience. Today the half wit morons would get bored with a story without half the planet getting blown up so this sort of film is relegated to the "fringe" - perhaps it's just as well.
@TheVaughan5 That's because when this movie was made, the early 1970s, the IQ of the average filmgoer was likely 20 points higher. This is an excellent film, and one of my favorites.
@rlm6213 Actually, the average IQ today is far higher than when this came out, movie-goers today are far more intelligent than when this came out, scientific fact- possibly by as much as 20 points in the other direction! And this never even was a 'mainstream movie' anyway. It is far more likely that a film like this would score better at the box office today than it ever did in the 70s.
@rlm6213 The people who back movies today are far more aware of public appetites than they ever have been, yes, they still make shite like transformers but this is also an age where intelligent film makers become household names. Never has filmmaking been as diverse, intelligent and exciting than it is at this moment in time. This is one of my all-time favs btw, not dissing this, but rather the attitude that people and things are dumber now than they were in the past, an attitude founded in fear
@rlm6213 I thing that the film-makers were intent on telling a solid story, and the audience was paying attention to the details as well as the scope.
One of my all time favourites. Have seen it countless times and always seem to find something new each time. Fox is superb and as others have said how refreshing to watch an intelligent script acted out without the need for over the top special effects that add nothing and detract much.
At 0:00:18 Brilliant, the double cross. When you see that sign, well who can you really trust? Answer, no one. It's a symbol used as far back as the middle ages.
Funny thing he was going to be lenient on Bastien-Thiry and just leave him a jail for a few years but that Madame DeGaulle was also fired on; an innocent family happened to be caught in the crossfire; the attempted assasins were not French but Hungarian ex-Foreign Legionaries; and that Bastein-Thiry was not present at the scene but some 2 blocks away signaling the assasins.
So nice to watch a movie instead of a special effects contest. I don't bother with most movies anymore because they rely too much on visual aspect, and not enough on story content.
This film couldn't get made now because the Jackal isn't a high school student with a Bieber bowl cut, nor is he part of a popular comic book or computer game franchise, much loved by men of certain age with an attention span of -42 seconds.
Agree with you there, mortifiedGAP. Making a playlist with movies from the '70's, because i'm astounded at just how good they are, compared to todays 'InstantMovie '. [just add boiling water, edit for two minutes, add celebrities according to taste . . .]
@tybrands yeah I'll get the guns you bring money to pacify the excutives and we togther shall bring glory to the film world again! or possibly just keep watching great old film's you decide
Today the release of a movie like this would not make a ripple while common flotsam rake tens of millions in weeks. There is no point in blaming the Hollywood execs. Despite all the rhetoric you hear, they (like politicians) only give the masses what they want.

But I can't see how they could've done it any other way & had an effective film that was true to the book. I've never met one person who didn't love this film & I'm sure the studio loved it. It just seems paradoxical that a film that's a critical success is a commercial failure.

It's amazing how "dumbed down" the Bruce Willis remake was. This version is by far the best.

I admire the eye for detail in this film. Clothing, hairstyles and even the cars are correct for the sixties. The only minus is the fact that even the French are speaking English. When I was travelling through France in '73, it seemed I was the only English speaking person there besides a few Danish tourists.

The German state systematically is openly using murder to suppress any opposition since at least 1919. Torture with directed energy weapons was already used in 1908, see my homepage, chapter Psychiatrie-->Zur Klinik der Narkolepsie. They also used large amounts of snitchers before ww1. There are several cases of possible murders before ww1, the most obvious being the famous Rudolf Diesel, see chapter murder on my homepage.You may have translated the texts by clicking the flags.

It is true that De Gaulle did not take the death threats seriously enough. He was quoted after one narrow squeak with an exploding car as saying, "C'est une petite plaisantrie" (It is a little joke). He was usually depicted in post-war cartoons as Louis XIV, the Sun King, who had ruled by divine right. I do not forget his very undiplomatic encouragement of the separatists on a visit to Canada: "le Québec libre!" Churchill told him he was "the man of destiny", but couldn't stand his pomposity.

Unlike many viewers, I like the Willis/Gere/Poitier remake too, but this is better in several ways. Wasn't the Citroën DS (seen at the beginning) in looks and suspension about the most beautiful car ever? And the suspension was a dream. Having the lines of an extra-terrestrial spaceship, it still looks modern today.

From the days when so called "mainstream" movies were made for an intelligent audience. Today the half wit morons would get bored with a story without half the planet getting blown up so this sort of film is relegated to the "fringe" - perhaps it's just as well.

@TheVaughan5 That's because when this movie was made, the early 1970s, the IQ of the average filmgoer was likely 20 points higher. This is an excellent film, and one of my favorites.
rlm6213 2 months ago 22
@rlm6213 Actually, the average IQ today is far higher than when this came out, movie-goers today are far more intelligent than when this came out, scientific fact- possibly by as much as 20 points in the other direction! And this never even was a 'mainstream movie' anyway. It is far more likely that a film like this would score better at the box office today than it ever did in the 70s.

@rlm6213 The people who back movies today are far more aware of public appetites than they ever have been, yes, they still make shite like transformers but this is also an age where intelligent film makers become household names. Never has filmmaking been as diverse, intelligent and exciting than it is at this moment in time. This is one of my all-time favs btw, not dissing this, but rather the attitude that people and things are dumber now than they were in the past, an attitude founded in fear

One of my all time favourites. Have seen it countless times and always seem to find something new each time. Fox is superb and as others have said how refreshing to watch an intelligent script acted out without the need for over the top special effects that add nothing and detract much.

Funny thing he was going to be lenient on Bastien-Thiry and just leave him a jail for a few years but that Madame DeGaulle was also fired on; an innocent family happened to be caught in the crossfire; the attempted assasins were not French but Hungarian ex-Foreign Legionaries; and that Bastein-Thiry was not present at the scene but some 2 blocks away signaling the assasins.

So nice to watch a movie instead of a special effects contest. I don't bother with most movies anymore because they rely too much on visual aspect, and not enough on story content.
Thanks for the flick.

This film couldn't get made now because the Jackal isn't a high school student with a Bieber bowl cut, nor is he part of a popular comic book or computer game franchise, much loved by men of certain age with an attention span of -42 seconds.

Today the release of a movie like this would not make a ripple while common flotsam rake tens of millions in weeks. There is no point in blaming the Hollywood execs. Despite all the rhetoric you hear, they (like politicians) only give the masses what they want.
