The bit where Edward Fox stops the sports car at the sign in the road that points to Italy or France - abandoning the job and safety or going ahead - is great :-)
The part where he disposes of the French woman he encounters still shocks me whenever I re-watch it.
Thank you for this. Any chance to recover The day of the Jackal is welcome. You might like in a thread I made some time ago about different covers of the novel.
That movie is a big favorite of mine, Fox is perfect in the part. Nice cameo by a watermelon, lol! I love the book too. I read a ton of Forsyth’s books in these days…

Yes, I love the way that the Jackal becomes progressively more ruthless, particularly in the last third of the film

Thank you, Andrew. I have always been fond of The Day Of The Jackal too!
My pleasure, Brendan. Good to see so many fans of this film out there.
