The baroness broke

I read the novel some time ago and found the movie to watch. The look and feel is different from the current genre film. The style is slow, without the tension and oppression of today's films. It's a bit long, but fortunately, there is not much nonsense, and it is not so nervous. You can watch it slowly while you work. The assassination of Bastian Tiri was hurriedly taken; Victor Kowalski, this branch, was deleted; Jacqueline Dima, the background was also deleted. The above three parts reflect the important background of the times, and the deletion creates difficulties for audiences outside of France. But maybe that's not the audience. The baroness is on the front line, the change is big, the change is not good. The usual routines are criminal escape, police chasing, cat and mouse games, and usually the police are always late. The original work was also written in this way, but in the movie it was changed that the police went to the baroness's house to investigate the situation first, and the baroness knew the identity of the jackal early. Such a change made no sense, and it seemed that everyone, the police, the baroness, and the jackal were extremely stupid. Mistakes corrected. The most interesting passage is that after the leak, the Minister of the Interior: "One thing I want to ask is how do I know that the information was leaked by Saint Clair?" Lebel: "We have tapped every one of your phones." At that second, the picture was still, all eyes were on Lebel, and Lebel sat down on his own. Actor Olga Georges-Picot Olga Georges-Picot, beautiful, with the serious classical beauty of that era. Born in Shanghai in 1940.

The Day of the Jackal quotes

  • Caron: [on phone] Yes, Washington, I know it's seven o'clock there, it's midnight here!

  • [Caron calls London, Assistant Commisioner Mallinson at 3:58 in the morning]

    Mallinson: I don't wish to sound rude, Inspector, but wouldn't it be better if this sort of routine inquiry could be conducted through the proper channels, preferably when we're all awake?

    Caron: Yes, I'm sorry Mr. Mallinson, but it is very urgent. Commissioner Lebel didn't wish to make a formal request; he was rather hoping that you'd cooperate with us unofficially.

    Mallinson: All right, I'll take the Commissioner's call at... 08:30, you say? Fine. Good night.

    [hangs up]

    Mallinson: What's left of it...

    Mallinson's Wife: Who was that, dear?

    Mallinson: The Old Boy Network.
