Gene Hackman anchors this c1971 poster for *The French Connection*, William Friedkin's gritty crime thriller about New York narcotics detectives. Hackman plays Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle, a hard-edged cop pursuing a heroin smuggling ring, loosely drawn from Robin Moore's 1969 nonfiction account of a real 1962 case. The film won the Academy Award for Best Picture, and Hackman earned Best Actor for the role. Its car chase beneath an elevated train remains one of the most studied sequences in American cinema.
