THE FRENCH CONNECTION
June 4, 2016  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Three Roy Scheider movies are shown tonight by TCM – but his best two, Jaws and All That Jazz, are not among them. (Jaws, however, is shown tonight at 6 p.m. ET on AMC.) However, the film that starts tonight’s mini-marathon, 1971’s The French Connection, is indeed a classic. Tune in for the car chase – stay for the acting, especially by Gene Hackman and Scheider as a determined detective and his sidekick.
