This week Podmaster Ralph Quattrucci returns to the roots of the podcast by bringing the 1972 Best Picture Academy Award winner The French Connection to the table. This podcast was originally intended to be an examination of the classic films of the 1970s that too many of our younger peers in the network cable business hadn't seen. You've heard us complain about the excessive backstory in today's films. Well, this film essentially has none. No one is petting the dog or saving the cat here. The filmmakers simply throw you into the middle of a police procedural and let you catch up on your own. See if we think this film has gone too far in the other direction.
BTW, this is also the third film we examined by the great cinematographer Owen Roizman. Trust me, it will not be the last.
Here's the movie trailer:
