I don't mean to shock you, but I wasn't all too impressed by "The French Connection". I enjoyed it, thought it was good... but It just didn't rise to greatness for me. One bit sticks with me to this day, though: when the innocent bystander mother pushing the baby carriage is shot dead in the crossfire. That shocked me so (my pitifully sheltered life?) that it stil seems as if I saw it yesterday. Intellectually, I realize that NOTHING would ellicit such a sympathatic response as killing off the mother of a baby. So cheezy! But my heart still buys in -- hook, line, and sinker.

As to "Bullitt", believe it or not, I saw it for the first time last weekend! Its a BD my wife gave me for xmas. This is all the more wierd because I'm a Mustang fanatic and have long known about the fabled chase scene. Oh well, late is better than never! I did thoroughly enjoy it. (And wow, was Jacqueline Bisset really that young? Ever? )

My wife's '65 pony:


No chase scanes with THIS one. Just some happy cruising.
