Jacket needs
full attention
Review by Larry Kubert
The Day of the Jackal is not
the type of movie at which an
audience goes half-alseep and
expects to be entertained.
Adapted from Frederick
Forsyth's political suspense
novel, Jacket is about a hired
assassin's plot to kill French
President Charles de Gaulle and
the French police's attempt to
stop him.
Director Fred Zinnemann
has used several techniques to
obtain realism. Unfortunately
the movie-goer who does not
focus his attentions on the
movie from the beginning may
find himself confused mid-way
through the film.
Zinnemann used lesser
known actors in various roles
and American audiences who
are used to having a star in
every movie may have a
difficult time keeping the faces
and the roles straight as the
plot twists and turns.
Use intellect
But for the viewer that
approaches Day of the Jackal
with a desire to use his
intellect, the complexities are
an absolute delight.
The Jackal, played by
Edward Fox, is a professional
political killer hired to
assassinate de Gaulle because
he grants independence to
Algeria.
Fox gives a fine portrayal as
the innocent-looking killer,
who transforms himself into a
Danish school teacher to get
into Paris and an aged army
cripple to get inside police
lines.
The police of England and
France learn that the Jackal is
on his way, but neither can
stop him from getting into
France. Michel Lonsdale shines
as Commissioner Lebel,
middle-class policeman who
seems embarrassed to be
working on such an important
case, but through whose
wiliness that the case is
cracked.
Builds tension
After a superb building of
tension as the Jackal closes in
on de Gaulle for the kill, many
may find the conclusion
anti-climatic. Zinnemann's
ending fits in with the realism
that he strives to present in the
rest of his film.
American audiences are
accustomed to seeing
large-scale shootouts in spy
pictures, but there is nothing
grand or glorious about
assassination. Zinnermann gives
the audience the only kind of
ending that will meet the
movie's high standards.
American audiences may
find it difficult to appreciate
Day of the Jackal, but without
a doubt, it is a step above the
majority of the films that the
United States has to offer in
this genre.
