I don't often agree with Oscars selection for Best Picture, but they sure nailed it in 1972. The French Connection is so damn engaging! I do think Owen Roizman should have won for Cinematography though - this thing's a beauty. Probably my favorite @WilliamFriedkin film.
Watched “The French Connection” for the umpteenth time last night. It’s a perfect movie, hands down. @WilliamFriedkin made a movie FIFTY years ago that holds up as well as it did when it was new!
