Plot: It is the early 60s in France. The remaining survivors of the aborted French Foreign Legion have made repeated attempts to kill DeGaulle. The result is that he is the most closely guarded man in the world. As a desperate act, they hire The Jackal, the code name for a hired killer who agrees to kill French President De Gaulle for half a million dollars. We watch his preparations which are so thorough we wonder how he could possibly fail even as we watch the French police attempt to pick up his trail. The situation is historically accurate. There were many such attempts and the film closely follows the plot of the book.

Quotes:

Lawyer: For heaven's sake, man, don't you realize you are going to be shot!::Bastien-Thiry: You don't understand. No French soldier will raise his rifle against me.::[He is shot by a firing squad the next day]

Col. Rodin: Will you do it?::The Jackal: Yes.::Montclair: How much?::The Jackal: You must understand that this is a once-in-a-lifetime job, whoever does it can never work again...::Montclair: How much do you want?::The Jackal: Half a million.::Montclair: What?::The Jackal: In cash. Half in advance, half on completion.::Montclair: Half a million francs?::The Jackal: Dollars.::Montclair: [standing up] Are you mad?::The Jackal: Considering you expect to get France in return, I'd have thought it a reasonable price. If you can't manage it, then there's nothing more to be said.::[turns to leave]::Col. Rodin: We accept!

Minister: There is one thing: how did you know whose telephone to tap?::Lebel: I didn't, so I tapped all of them.

Mallinson: The prime minister?::Insp. Thomas: The prime minster, sir. That he said if there's the remotest possibility of General de Gaulle's life being threatened by a person of these islands, then it is to be stopped. And he's given me full powers and top priority.::Mallinson: Is this some kind of bloody joke?::Insp. Thomas: No, of couse not, sir. I've got to drop whatever I'm doing, and I shall need six of your best men, straight away.::Mallinson: Where's the notification for all this? Where's the proper authority? [Telephone rings. Mallison answers]::Mallinson: Yes! [Mallison listens then rises]::Mallinson: Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Of course, sir.

Colette de Montpelier: Why, I don't know what you're talking about.::Lebel: Madam, be in no doubt as to the seriousness of your position. [Colette stands and moves uneasily to another chair]

Col. Rodin: We are not terrorists, you understand. We are patriots. Our duty is to the soldiers who died fighting in Algeria, and to the three million French citizens who have always lived there.::The Jackal: And so you want to get rid of him.::Col. Rodin: Speaking as a professional, do you think it's possible?::The Jackal: It's possible. The point is getting away with it. And speaking as a professional, that's a very important consideration.::Montclair: But in principle you say it could be done?::The Jackal: Yes, with enough time and planning. It would be more difficult than most other targets.::Casson: Why more?::The Jackal: Because de Gaulle has the best security service in the world. Their information is first-class. You see, gentlemen, not only have your own efforts failed, but you've rather queered the pitch for everyone else.::Casson: How dare you suggest that!::The Jackal: In this work, you simply can't afford to be emotional. That's why you've made so many mistakes.::Col. Rodin: But if we decided to employ a professional...::The Jackal: You have to employ a professional. Your organization is so riddled with informers that nothing you decide is a secret for long. No, the job would have to be done by an outsider. The only question would be by whom, and for how much.

Caron: You know, sir, what they'll do to you if you don't catch this man in time...::Lebel: I've been given a job to do, so we'll just have to do it.::Caron: But no crime has been committed yet, so where are we supposed to start looking for the criminal?::Lebel: We start by recognizing that, after De Gaulle, we are the two most powerful people in France.

Insp. Thomas: [after Special Branch Detective finds Charles Calthrop's passport in his apartment] What's this?::Special Branch Detective: His passport.::Insp. Thomas: Oh?::Special Branch Detective: We checked it. It's him, all right. Look. The Dominican visa. There's no exit stamp, though. He must have got out on the sly.::Insp. Thomas: You haven't grasped it yet, have you? Oh, yes, this is our man, all right. Definitely. But hasn't it occurred to you that we're holding his passport in our hands? If he is out of the country, what's he travelling on? Eh?

Lebel: Excuse me, but it has just occurred to me that we have forty-eight hours in which to find this Jackal::[There is a chorus of "What?" and "How do you know?" from the committee members]::Lebel: Am I right in assuming that the President has no engagements outside the Elysee Palace today, tomorrow and Saturday ?::Minister: None.::Lebel: And what is Sunday, August the twenty-fifth?::Minister: [Slaps forehead] Of course! Liberation Day!::Lebel: That's what he's been waiting for.::Minister: We must have been blind.

The Gunsmith: Over what range will you fire?::The Jackal: I'm not sure yet but probably not more than 400 feet::The Gunsmith: Will the gentleman be moving?::The Jackal: Stationary.::The Gunsmith: Will you go for a head shot or a chest shot?::The Jackal: Probably head.::The Gunsmith: What about the chance of a second shot?::The Jackal: Well I might get the chance but I doubt it. In any event I'll need a silencer to escape.::The Gunsmith: In that case you'd better have explosive bullets. I can prepare a handful along with the gun.::The Jackal: Glycerin or mercury?::The Gunsmith: Oh mercury... much cleaner.
