this was the best assassin film ever.

@HarvardBoxer and what exactly do you know about the OAS you idiot? I'm sure you've never heard about the anti-OAS barbouzes. The French hiring an English hitman to do the job is ridiculous since OAS commandos Roger Degueldre & Albert Dovecar assassinated themselves MI6 English spies James Mason & Alfred Fox in Algiers in september 1961 for giving weapons to the arab rebels. That De Gaulle bastard just had the devils luck he should had died at Petit Clamart if not for De Boissieu warning him.

One of my favorite movies ever. Fred Zinnemann made so many wonderful films (High Noon, The Nun's Story, A Man for All Seasons), but this is his masterpiece, hands-down.

@Brady2k8 Totally agree...the original was by far the best!!

Man, these old movie trailers would give away practically the entire movie.

僕の人生で最高の映画体験をありがとう。

This was a great movie: reality was even more bizarre. DeGaulle was a WWII hero: titular chief of the Free French Army in Senegal. But when after 8 yr of battling Algeria he chose to grant it independence in '62, he was the object of army ire.

There was a band of French paratroopers that parachuted into Paris to protest Algerian independence & many attempts on DeGaulle. Later, he withdrew France from NATO.
