About this product

Product Information

This suspense thriller about a daring plot to murder Charles De Gaulle is based on Frederick Forsyth's best-seller. The movie's suspenseful pace is tied to the incredibly careful and intricate planning the man code-named "the Jackal" does in preparation for the hit. This classic was watered down and remade in 1997 as The Jackal.

  • Still not the original .....

    This was a quite entertaining picture. Well done, probably in the European fashion. More plot and acting, less "action". Unlike the typical newer Hollywood shows, with lots of dynamic action and "shoot 'em ups". I thoroughly enjoyed the show, even though I already knew the general plot line. It will go into my keeper files, to be watched over and over, unlike the Bruce Willis version, which is already gone. The downer is that I distinctly remember certain scenes from the many times I have seen this film over the years. Two versions now, and I am STILL looking for the "original". Any help? Bill Hudson

  • 4th time I've watched it.

    This is a classic 1960s spy film. By today's standards it may seem a bit primitive. But it gets the job done. And the title rocks.

  • suspenseful

    always loved this version which is actually the second time it was made...there have been recent remakes, but none come close. Edward Fox is well-cast in this film as are the others in the cast.

  • The REAL jackal.

    This film depicts the story as one imagines it would have happened---fewer Hollywood gimmicks than the more recent remake.

  • A bad guy with chutzpah.

    It's strange to watch a movie with no background music, but you become captivated by the simple plot. Movie is full of surprises.
