Here's a nicely remastered Fox original trailer for 1971's Best Picture Oscar winner, "The French Connection", directed by William Friedkin. Keep an eye out for stunt driver/actor Bill Hickman, who accuses Gene Hackman's Popeye Doyle of being responsible for "a dead cop". Hickman did much of the driving in the classic car chase in "Bullitt" as the villain behind the wheel of the car pursued by Steve McQueen. The trailer also features real-life "French Connection" cop Eddie Egan as Hackman's boss, who went on to a successful acting career. Curiously, Roy Scheider doesn't even get billing in the trailer, but the Best Supporting Actor nomination he received for the film helped launch him to stardom. We enjoyed the appropriately New YAWK accent of the narrator!
