	BBC - Films - review - The Day of the Jackal
		Though not without its car crashes and incidental killings, "The Day of the Jackal" is shot with the same neutrality displayed by its titular assassin, whether he's lifting passports from hapless Danish teachers or funneling hair dye into Old Spice bottles.
		Zinnemann's tale of an extremist faction's plot to kill the celebrated French leader and the authorities' efforts to capture the mercenary assassin hired for the job achieves a dignified tone and compelling pace seldom seen in latter-day thrillers.
		"The Day of the Jackal" is on BBC1 at 11.35pm, Friday 9th February 2001.

	The Day of the Jackal
		Coming to The Day of the Jackal (1971) at this part of the course we re-visit the territory of the 'Masculine Romance', of The Thirty-Nine Steps and Rogue Male (particularly the latter novel to which Forsyth's novel seems to be particularly indebted.
		The Day of the Jackal combines these various pleasures: Forsyth is almost obsessional in the amount of detail which is packed into the novel, most of which is redundant, yet which enhances the air of realism.
		The Jackal is professional, ruthless, young, psychopathic, rational, rakish, animal and instinctive, fair, and chameleon-like in his assumption of disguises.

	DVD Empire - Item - Day Of The Jackal, The / DVD-Video
		Based on Frederick Forsyth's best-selling novel of political intrigue, The Day of the Jackal, tells of a cold, suave British assassin hired by the French OAS to kill General de Gualle.
		The tension mounts as the methodical preparations of the Jackal are paralleled with the efforts of the police to uncover the plot, which gives the story non-stop, edge-of-your-seat suspense.
		Fred Zinnemann's THE DAY OF THE JACKAL is not the kind of thriller you are familiar with nowadays.

	The Day of the Jackal
		The Jackal's (Fox) demands are few, but very specific, and his price is high, as his reasoning is that this type of job is a career ender, based on the level of importance of the target.
		The Day of the Jackal is truly one of the great classic espionage films of the 20th Century.
		The day of the jackal is problably the most interesting story for a long time because there problably isn't such a man like the jackal but there could be one, and Forsyth does a brilliant story about a man who is an assassain and how he plans to assassinate the president of France.

	Thriller 'Jackal' still has its day - The Boston Globe
		Pontecorvo’s 1965 masterwork, which found renewed fame after it was screened at the Pentagon early in the Iraq war, chronicled the brutal Algerian war for independence from France that began in 1954 and ended with a cease-ﬁre at the Evian Accords in March 1962.
		The simple scene in which the Jackal sights his custom-made sniper riﬂe using a watermelon hanging from a tree remains as shocking today as it was 31 years ago.
		Enter the marvelous British actor Edward Fox, who gives a taut performance as the nameless assassin known only as ‘‘the Jackal.’’ (‘Carlos the Jackal’’ was the name of an actual international killer loose at the time.) He kills and seduces as needed with a minimum of fuss.

		The French authorities got wind of the plot and of The Jackal's impending arrival, but the entire collective might of France seemed to cower before the wit of this one man. He was certainly well prepared.
		Jackal was also a handsome sexual predator who used both successful gay men and rich older women to provide him with accommodations.
		Day of the Jackal is very cerebral, and generally lacking in passion and action.

	The DVD Journal: The Jackal and The Day of the Jackal
		Perhaps best-known of his novels is his first, The Day of the Jackal, a work that was so overwhelming in its craft and detail that he was immediately compared to John Le Carre, the preeminent spy novelist of the day.
		Because of this, The Jackal is a cipher, a man of disguise and deception who presents himself as a flesh-and-blood human being to all he meets, but never allows them (or us, the viewers) to know who he is or what makes him tick.
		We admire The Jackal for his professionalism, his foresight, and his ability to use his wits when he is on the run.

	The Day Of The Jackal (1973)
		The Jackal remains without identity, but as he meticulously prepares his plans, the best detective in France (Michel Lonsdale) attempts to get onto his trail, with the resources of the entire French government at his disposal.
		As a footnote, The Jackal (made in 1997, and only very loosely based on the original) starring Bruce Willis in the title role has none of the style and finesse of the original, and consequently, should be avoided in favour of the 1973 classic.

		The Jackal, an upper-middle class Englishman, insists on total anonymity and absolute freedom to carry out the mission in the way he pleases.
		The scenes with the Jackal are inevitably more interesting, not least because he gets to meet with the sublime Cyril Cusack playing a gunsmith, and a deliciously camp Ronald Pickup as the least reliable forger in Europe.
		The Day Of The Jackal is civilised adult entertainment and, compared to the loose remake, Michael Caton-Jones's unsatisfactory The Jackal, it's some kind of masterpiece.

		"The Day Of The Jackal" features a plot you know is going to fail, a protagonist who you never know much about other than he's up to no good, and a henpecked hero looked upon with contempt by most of his superiors.
		But "The Day Of The Jackal" began the art of spy fiction as we know it today; more than 30 years on, it's still the gold standard.
		Forsyth has slipped a little in his last few books, but the Day of the Jackal is one of his best.
