A Scene from The French Connection

Thursday, September 11. 2014

The World Trade Center as seen in The French Connection

The French Connection is considered by many to involve one of the greatest car chase sequences in movie history. But somewhat earlier in the movie, it has one other notable scene: just after Henri Devereaux's Lincoln Continental is offloaded from the boat used to transport it to the United States (the car used in the smuggling operation), it is observed by smuggler Alain Charnier and his henchman Pierre Nicoli. In the background of the shot of Charnier and Nicoli, the two towers of the World Trade Center are shown under construction. During the time of filming, 1 WTC had reached its full height but 2 WTC was still incomplete. It was the first Hollywood production to show the towers, during a time when they were still a highly controversial addition to the Manhattan skyline.
