  • His name is Fernando REY not Ray...

  • Wow again! Another awesome story! It's amazing how sometimes things just fall into place. Fate! I think Fernando Rey was perfect for the role he got in the movie.

  • Who is the guy beside Friedkin, and why is he so intensely uncomfortable?

  • Fernando Rey played the best drug dealer in both those films.

    We never saw much of him in american films after that though.

  • "french connection" est tout simplement un "chef d 'oeuvre"!!!!! great william friedkin!!!
