Since I kept hearing some pretty good things about this flick, I was quite eager to check it out. Eventually, I wasn’t disappointed, in fact, I was really blown away by the whole thing. Indeed, what a suspense ! I think it is quite shame that this flick seems to be pretty much forgotten nowadays since it is actually, in my opinion, easily one of the best movies I have seen in this genre. Indeed,... read more
It is the early 60s in France. The remaining survivors of the aborted French Foreign Legion have made repeated attempts to kill DeGaulle. The result is that he is the most closely guarded man in the world. As a desperate act, they hire The Jackal, the code name for a hired killer who agrees to kill French President De Gaulle for half a million dollars. We watch his preparations which are so thorough we wonder how he could possibly fail even as we watch the French police attempt to pick up his trail. The situation is historically accurate. There were many such attempts and the film closely follows the plot of the book.

Watched films in 2024 (164 movies items)"3.3. Tallenne Olen maailman toisteks huonoin kirjojen lukija. Shakaalin kuitenkin luin intissä, joten ei nyt ihan hiljan. Kerronta teki vaikutuksen ja jäi vahvasti mieleen. Tiivis ja seikkaperäinen. Jännite pitää koukuttavasti, koska haluaa sekä Shakaalin että tutkijoiden onnistuvan. Fred Zinnemannin elokuva tavoittaa tämän erinomaisesti. Ranskaan ja vähän Britteihin, Sveitsiin ja Italiaankin sijoittuvassa elokuvassa ei vain englannin puhuminen häiritse, kuten yleensä, vaan onnist"

Movies of Sound Era Without Musical Score (28 movies items)" The film features no soundtrack music after the first five minutes other than diegetic background music from marching bands, street musicians and radios. Fred Zinnemann deliberately refused to use it on the grounds that soundtrack distracts the movement and tension generated."
