Day of the Jackal, The

A taut, well-written, highly suspenseful, Oscar-nominated 1973 thriller based on the Frederick Forsythe novel that follows a frustrated and perplexed French inspector (Tony Britton) and his associates who are always two steps behind in their search for a calculating, meticulous, and clever contract killer (Edward Fox) who is hired by politically subversive members (Jean Martin, Eric Porter, et al.) of the OAS group to assassinate President Charles De Gaulle (Adrien Cayla-Legrand) on Liberation Day.
